Excerpt from The Log of Bob Bartlett: The True Story of Forty Years of Seafaring and ExplorationAs I lean over the Taffrail and reset the hands on the face of the Log Dial, and note the miles logged since the Log Book was started I never dreamed that so many young and old folks would be interested in read ing it. The many letters that I have received say that they have had fair weather with me through the Log. The Publishers now say that they, too, are willing to endorse the commendation of my reading Friends, and have decided to send it on another voyage. I trust that a continuation of fair weather and smooth seas as of yore will go with it and that the in¿uence of Neptune and Aeolus will see that it is so.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
