    Bruce, if you haven't come across it already, check out his The Way of A Ship.

    Hello:

    Stumbled on this book at a library (throwaway) sale. How can you go wrong with another book for $ 1 USD? I knew very little about the details of Cook's voyages, but this gives a great overview. Some might not like the author's often opionated style, but he writes with a lifetime of experience and knowledge. This book certainly describes the early days of exploration voyages. Also gives an overview to other voyagers.  I recommend it.

    He was an extremely competent person, and he wrote many books. I would appreciate knowing any personal  favorites.  By the way, he was captain and part owner of the  square rigger Joseph Conrad, which is still being used at Mystic Seaport Museum. I see it every time I'm at Mystic.

    Happy Summer (northern hemisphere)!

    Bruce
