This is William Albert Robinson's seminal 1944 travel book, "Deep Water and Shoal". Complete with cannibal encounters and contretemps with hostile tribesmen, this fascinating and exciting account of twenty-five-year-old Robinson's epic sailing adventure is highly recommended for fans of fascinating travel writing. Few have written a book about sailing round the world as good as Mr. Robinson's, which is arguably one of the most enthralling travel books ever written. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.… (més)

The story of an around the world sail taken in the late 1920s/1930s. The reader really feels as if he's there in many locales given the exquisite descriptions and place and people. Has me wanting to map our the route on Google Maps. ( )
  starkravingmad | Dec 17, 2015 |
This is the best account of a circumnavigation of the world since the immortal Slocum's. ... Ever since Mr Robinson sailed his little vessel (the Svaap, a ketch, 27½ feet on the water-line) in a race to Bermuda, and on arriving announced that he hardly felt like turning back just yet, people who take an interest in that kind of sailing have been wondering what sort of a saga would one day be to tell about the Svaap's further voyaging. ... The result is an extraordinarily engaging, original, humane story which deserves a very much larger public than the small one of amateur sailors.

Arthur Ransome in The Manchester Guardian, 28 April 1936; reproduced in Christina Hardyment, Ransome on blue water sailing, p. 74.

I have been asked to introduce Mr. William Robinson's book to British readers; but I hesitate to do so, because I remember it is the fate of the majority of British readers to have to catch the 9.15 three hundred times each year, and I think this book will make every season-ticket holder who reads it very restless and discontented with his life. (Introduction)
We set sail from New York on the evening of June 23rd, 1928, pointing the bow of our tiny ketch-rigged yacht southward for Bermuda. (Prologue)
There was a faint sound of distant machinery. The great [Panama Canal] gates behind us glided shut. We were cut off from Atlantic waters at last. (Chapter I)
