It is always nice to go to sea again and feel the purity of sailing. Eric and Susan Hiscock live a life many others, including me, would love to live, but even if reading about it is second best it is still most enjoyable. It is nice to see someone else's view of sailing from New York to Jacksonville and around Fort Lauderdale, Miami and the Bahamas and brings back memories of my own sailing in those areas.
Hiscock's early sailing experience was similar to my own, though early on I did few long trips. The journey to the Azores would have been a good experience.
