There is a new maritime collection available for all keen sailors. Old Salt's musings have recently hit the shelves. With reflections on his extensive experience both on the water and off it (at the bar), it has quickly become the new maritime must-read. Copies are available from the venerable sea-dog himself, Old Salt.
The anticipated favourable, not to say rave reviews in the national press have for some unaccountable reason not yet appeared, but here in the meantime is a selection of comments received.
A sailing friend: “I recognise in him some characteristics that I have myself – very worrying!” [What can he mean? - OS]
A more perceptive sailing friend:“Words of wisdom indeed" [How true]
A Bishop: “Not quite Lenten reading perhaps”[Also true]
A friend: “OS’s dedication in the arduous task of pub research is truly heart-warming” [Heartwarming]
At least no-one has yet written to say “Thank you for sending me your book. I will waste no time in reading it”.
