Thanks for the heads up, David. I immediately ordered all 4 of his books on Kindle. He's a great writer and I've enjoyed his posts over the years. I'm looking forward to diving into his books.

Hopefully others in this group have read Conbert (Connie on the group) Benneck's books on sailing. After way to long of a delay I finally read his first book and am well into the second. What a joy they are to read! I am certainly no literary authority but I know how much I have always appreciated Connie's posts here. His posts are always smart, insightful, and often with a dash of humor and often give the topic of discussion perspective. I find his books to be all of that and more. Connie is a great story teller and what stories to tell! Reading the books one can see Connie's is a life well lived and we are lucky he has shared a bit of it with us here and in his books (I got mine on Amazon). Right now I want to take my Montgomery 15 to Europe and run around for a while and try to relive the magic I read about in Connie's wonderful books. Check them out!
