Exciting Adventures in Sailing from the Rugged American Literary Icon, Jack London
American author Jack London, best known for his fiction set during the Klondike Gold Rush, such as The Call of the Wild, was also an avid sailor. "Small-Boat Sailing" was published in 1917 in The Human Drift, a collection of short stories and essays. London recounts his time at sea, including travels on fishing schooners and coal ships alongside small sailboats. His descriptions of hard work, excitement, and the thrill of handling a small boat in trouble on the water are exhilarating.
