I finished the book 200,000 Miles<\/em> and I LOVED IT! A compelling read full of useful information and really encouraging. It is the best book I have read on sailing\u2026 I loved the way it was laid out with practical information in between the biographical story.<\/p>\n

Thanks for encouraging others to step out of their comfort zone into the ocean zone!!<\/p>\n

Spent the evening reading it and its 1 part inspiring to 2 parts practical advice for both those starting off ocean cruising and also i expect for more seasoned veterans.<\/p>\n

Laid out and written well, an easy book to dip in and out. I recommend highly.<\/p>\n

\n

It is the perfect combination of adventure, imagery, and practicality. Not quite a memoir, not quite a cruising guide, 200,000 Miles<\/em> is built to educate and inspire would-be ocean sailors.<\/p>\n

As I sat onboard recently, securely tied to the dock and pouring over Cornell\u2019s latest book, I found myself remembering and reconsidering long-distance sailing plans of my own.<\/p>\n

His matter-of-fact style makes extreme ocean challenges seem manageable. The running thesis of the book seems to be: if you prepare for it, nothing is that daunting.<\/p>\n

Excellent Read. Sailing adventure story and a hands-on cruising guide, all under one cover, written by the chap who founded the ARC. Well worth a place on any cruising sailors book shelf.<\/p>\n

\n

From a lifetime spent exploring the world\u2019s ocean from Antarctica to the Northwest Passage, Cornell\u2019s story reads like something out of a movie.<\/p>\n

\n

Great reading, but be prepared to live with the constant feeling that you need to get out of wherever you are and go sailing!<\/p>\n

Reader’s review on Amazon<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

200,000 Miles<\/em> is a fascinating tale, not only about sailing but also about the adventurous spirit that brought a young man from the forests of Romania to become a master of the seas.<\/p>\n

\n

Jimmy Cornell\u2019s journey through life has been as fascinating and varied as his seagoing feats. 200,000 Miles<\/em> blends anecdote, philosophy and hard-won experience into one enjoyable narrative spanning a lifetime of voyaging under sail.

A cruising life requires skills, virtues, luck, doggedness and a will of personality. Not only does Jimmy Cornell have these in spades, he has also been willing to share his well-formed opinions on cruising. This book epitomizes his lifelong philosophy.<\/p>\n

Jimmy has a unique ability to share his knowledge through books that have inspired and guided sailors across the seas for many years.<\/p>\n
