Query: Literary DOLDRUMS and SHALLOW waters.

Moitessier is a lousy writer. I read the Logical Route and was bored stiff. I bought this because I'm interested in taking up sailing and was intrigued why he gave up winning the race and sodded off to Tahiti instead. Unfortunately it's more of the same: dreary 'logical' daily accounts of boring sailing log details interspersed with equally dull, repetitive, shallow, wispy musings on nature. There's some soft rant against the 'machine' at the end. No depth. No passion. No excitement. No philosophy. No adventure. No LIFE.If this is what Zen posing, bearded frog cross legged sitting on deck contemplating your navel, waves and stars 16 hours a day does to you I think I'll pass.
