fun and informative... the tone is just right January 5, 2007
Got it for my son, who has taken up sailing and loves it. He loves knowing the origin of so many phrases. The tone is lighthearted and fun, easy to read. I have to admit I've paged thru it myself a few times and found it enjoyable as well.
