PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
William Frank Buckley Jr. was an American public intellectual, conservative author, and political commentator. His avocational interests included music and sailing, both of which he excelled at. He died in 2008.
Buckley's long-praised wit naturally shines through in the story of a long-planned Atlantic crossing from Miami, Florida, to Spain, with stops in Bermuda and the Azores, aboard his 60-foot ketch Cyrano, his favorite of the boats he owned over his lifetime, according to his son Christopher. But along with that wit Buckley delivers one of the more realistic glimpses at sailing, without glossing over the unpleasant parts, that can be found in nonfiction sailing books. . . . Christopher, who wrote his own book related to the trip, brings moments of delight, but none more pleasurable than the new foreword, which is reason enough to upgrade to the new version of the book.
