Customer Ratings:
This riveting tale of a 1500-mile voyage on a 21-foot sailboat in 1867--from Limehouse to Dover, England, thence to Boulogne, France, up the Seine to Paris, and back again--was undertaken in response to a "Boat Exhibition" and regatta staged by Napoleon III to encourage the youth of France to explore the rivers and streams of their native land. MacGregor, a flamboyant figure also known as Rob Roy, published this rapturous account of his seafaring adventures upon his return home, and it became known as "the book that launched a thousand ships," as legions of readers sought to emulate his example.

Summary: A book for it's time, 1887.
Comment: The auther, a man of considerable education, means and ego, tells of the 1887 sailing of his 21 foot yawl, Rob Roy.
Not written in the pleasant narrative of Joshua Slocum, (Sailing Alone Around The World) of his 1895-1898 voyage.

Summary: Adventures of the man who invented the modern canoe
Comment: This is a highly readable account of the author's solo voyage across the English Channel to France and up the Seine. Although he sails in a small sailboat here, MacGregor invented the modern canoe, and spent his life promoting the canoe and other outdoor sports. This is a fun book, especially for small boat sailors
