Media Reviews
...it is always interesting and very readable. * Sailing *
Vigor, who's written for several boating magazines, has brought his experience and sense of humor to bear on the less than ideal experiences of sailing--and he's even alphabetized them...It's fun to page through and you just might learn a thing or two. --Soundings
