Thank you for all your thoughtful work. I enjoyed the last edition, and have downloaded this addition to review as well. Learned much from your experiences and research that would have been painful or difficult to learn "on the job" as the saying goes. While you will rarely fine two single-hand sailors that do the same thing in the the same way (or admit to it), I have found your work immensely helpful and insightful as someone just starting out on the single-handed pathway.
