Deep Water and Shoal

<p>'There have been men before who have gone round the world, or as nearly as doesn't matter, in small sailing boats. There was Alain Gerbault and there was Capt. Slocum. But no one has ever written a book about sailing round the world as good as Mr. Robinson's... It is one of the most entrancing travel books ever written. It is so good that at this moment, late at night in a London club, I feel like "cashing in" all my available resources, abandoning my home and family, and starting out to sail round the world in a thirty foot boat, so seaworthy that it won't matter, if I go below to sleep for eight hours, lashing the helm and trusting to the Trades' J.C. Squire in the Daily TelegraphKeywords: Sailing Boats J C Squire Daily Telegraph Alain Gerbault Mr Robinson Foot Boat London Club Lashing Slocum Available Resources Late At Night Eight Hours Capt Travel Books Helm Trades</p>

<p>This is William Albert Robinson’s seminal 1944 travel book, "Deep Water and Shoal". Complete with cannibal encounters and contretemps with hostile tribesmen, this fascinating and exciting account of twenty-five-year-old Robinson’s epic sailing adventure is highly recommended for fans of fascinating travel writing. Few have written a book about sailing round the world as good as Mr. Robinson's, which is arguably one of the most enthralling travel books ever written. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.</p>
