Praise for this book
"Charles Doane's new book, The Sea Is Not Full, is the best sailing book I've read in a long time. Actually, it's more than that: it's one of the best books I've read in a long time."
This is a wonderfully readable, highly instructive and thoughtful book. It's written in Doane's signature style of clarity and passion tinged with a bit hard-won sailorly skepticism. Doane, who has written for a variety of magazines (including Ocean Navigator) on a range of topics has put together a book that any sailor will enjoy reading and will come away from with new knowledge, but without having to suffer through dry, instructional prose. The Sea Is Not Full should definitely be on your reading list.
"The Sea Is Not Full," an anthology of material Charlie's written over the years, as well as new material, is a great addition to anyone's maritime library . . . there are both moments of astonishing beauty in the books as well as laugh-out-loud humor, the moments made real by his ability to write."
"This is top-notch winter reading for us hunkered-down northern hemisphere types."
