Small-Boat Sailing

Jack London joined the Vallejo Yacht Club in 1910. Below is an excerpt from an Article 1st published in Yachting Monthly August 1912 By Jack London

...After all, the mishaps are almost the best part of small-boat sailing. Looking back, they prove to be punctuations of joy. At the time they try your mettle and your vocabulary, and may make you so pessimistic as to believe that God has a grudge against you — but afterward, ah, afterward, with what pleasure you remember them and with what gusto do you relate them to your brother skippers in the fellowhood of small-boat sailing!...

The full article is a must read for all sailors.
