Click: 400 views and Jack London sails through the South Pacific

Sometime yesterday we passed over 400 views of this blog, so thanks for the visits.

To celebrate this occasion here is an online version of
Jack London's The Cruise of the Snark, a non-fiction account of a cruise in the South Pacific in 1907


My favorite passage in the book was acquiring the art of navigation and the power that he felt on this learning

More on the Snark

And the boats that Jack London owned in his life.
