The Floating Harpsichord: One Sailor's Log and Manuals for Solo-Sailing and Solo-Medicine
Year: 1987 Language: English Author: Peter H. Strykers Genre: Textbook Publisher: Ten Speed Press Edition: First ISBN: 0898151902 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 294 Description: Describes the author's thoughts and experiences sailing alone on the Pacific Ocean and offers tips on sailing. Sailing, a harpsichord, and medicineall in one package. Strykers, a medical doctor, sailor, and musician, has managed to pull it all together in one fascinating book. For sailors there is the account of the author's participation in the Single-handed Transpacific Sailing Race, as well as very useful information on what medicines to take and how to treat illnesses and accidents when sailing alone. Musicians can learn how to tune a harpsichord in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and doctors will find data on the effects of wind, salt, and sea water on skin and on dealing with miscellaneous problems at sea. For general readers a good adventure story makes entertaining reading. Strykers's idea of how to sail single-handed is very different from many, e.g., Webb Chiles. An interesting study in contrasts. Recommended.
