There Be No Dragons

How to Cross a Big Ocean in a Small Sailboat

Reese Palley

This book, says the author, is written in the hope that those timid of the deep oceans might have fears allayed and thus be encouraged to set sail across the wine dark seas of the world. Reese Palley, by his own account a sailor of no great skill, has managed to circle the globe, taking fifteen years to do so, without serious happenstance. If he can do it, then the basest amateur, armed with the simplest of information and a small, sturdy boat, should be able to follow in his wake.

Charming, witty and intelligently written, this book discusses easily acquired skills and inexpensively obtained equipment that the new sailor will need to come safely to port. After a careful reading of There Be No Dragons, the tyro to the seas will be ready to go asailing and find, as has the author, his heart's desire.
