The Sailing Life
By Bob Bitchin
Foreword by Tania Aebi
Sailing, December 2006:
The founder and editor of the highly successful sailing magazine ‘Latitudes & Attitudes’ and author of the best-seller Letters from the LOST SOUL, has done it again. The Sailing Life is written in his inimitable, irreverent, often outrageous, and always entertaining style.
“It is, in essence, a collection of his editorials and anecdotes from his magazine, and apart from the entertainment value, he imparts useful advice. From chapter to chapter, he whirls you off in unexpected directions; at times you will be unraveling his thoughts on sailing and life, and at others, you will meet interesting people and visit exotic destinations. And often, at the end of the chapter, he will leave you with food for thought. It is a delightful read.
“The foreword is by Tania Aebi, who at age 18 (some twenty-odd years ago), set out to become the youngest person, and first American, to circumnavigate alone. She gives a wonderful insight into the larger-than-life Bitchin, and he is, indeed, a quite extraordinary man.”
Latitudes & Attitudes, April 2006:
The best thing about owning your own magazine is that you get to review your own books! How kewl is that? This is one of the best books ever written and every sailboat should have two copies, one in the salon and one in the head! A true great! Give a copy to a friend! Buy three! Great book."
