Reading this will save much more than just sailing, Oct 17 2009
By John Arndt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Saving Sailing: The Story of Choices, Families, Time Commitments, and How We Can Create a Better Future (Paperback)
I'm always impressed when a new author puts 'pen to paper'(fingers to keyboard) and puts their own ideas forth in such an engaging and thoughtful read. As a sailor, I've 'met' all the people and heard all the stories Nick discusses but could never have connected all the insights and lessons into such a cohesive argument for change in every individual's and family's approach to sailing and life. Nick connects us to the value of a 'life pastime' with solid data yet told with the open heart of a passionate sailor and story teller. Dedicated sailors will enjoy the read and recognize more about the values sailing offers. However, the lessons taught can be understood and utilized by every family regardless of their personal pastime - fishing, hunting and sailing or 'other'. Certainly an enjoyable and enlightening read.

My wife, a non-sailor, read this book, and now she has a much better understanding of my passion for sailing. She is keen to sail with me and the kids this summer. Very well written, and a compelling argument. I'm going to read it again, then pass it round to anyone at my club.
