Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people know of Arthur Ransome, the author of the classic children's sailing tale, Swallows & Amazons, and many other books in the same series. But besides his exciting tales of children on the water there is much more to the man. Before he wrote Swallows & Amazons, Ransome was a journalist for the Daily News, based in Russia. He is reputed to have played chess against Lenin and he married Trotsky's secretary. He cruised extensively in the Baltic in the 1920s on board his beloved Racundra. His account of his first cruise on that boat was his first commercially successful book, Racundra's First Cruise (also available from Fernhurst Books). The second cruise was spoilt by bad weather, but the third cruise was special – it was his honeymoon having married Evgenia Shelepina. Ransome clearly intended to publish the account of this cruise, but never finished it. Ransome enthusiast, Brian Hammett, got hold of the unpublished manuscript and found Ransome's hand-written notes, diaries, logbooks and photographs in the Ransome archive at Leeds University. Brian compiled this book, adding his own notes from his cruises in the same area. The result is a glorious volume which has delighted Ransome enthusiasts, sailors and landlubbers equally. This new paperback edition and eBook will be published on 8th May – the very day that Ransome and Shelepina got married in 1924 before their honeymoon cruise which is recounted in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of Chapter 1 we are walking up the gangplank of Cunard's Queen Mary 2, which is about to set sail on a return voyage from Southampton to New York. But before the ship casts off, I want to make it clear in this short introduction what you can and can't expect from this book, as I don't want to mislead or waste anyone's time. I am not going to tell you about cruise tips or how to save money - I don't even know exactly how much this one cost. I don't know anything about excursions, upgrades, or the difference between cruise companies. This is not an account of how to cruise, but rather an attempt at sharing how it feels. The purpose of this voyage is the voyage, not the destination.This is our third cruise. The first took us to Spain, Morocco and Portugal, which I documented in Through the Porthole. Our second, Baby on Board, sailed to France, Holland and Belgium, both on Cunard's Queen Victoria. What caught me immediately about cruising was the sense of mental freedom I felt. The open sea had hooked me. I didn't know why I felt so good. Initially I assumed it was an upsurge in energy gained from a new experience. Then I thought that it was just one of those times when everything seems to align or fall into place. Since those cruises I am certain that the open sea is the best place on planet Earth for me to feel more at peace and think clearer. Just by sailing away and having a break from incessant routine, densely populated areas, traffic jams, TV, celebrities, social media, politics etc., should bring a sense of peace to anyone.At the end of our first cruise it became clear to me that I felt better at sea than in port. So I said to Marina: "Wouldn't it be good to sail somewhere that took a long time and didn't dock almost every other day?" And so, because of that idea, my wife Marina, our eighteen month old daughter Aemelia and I are about to set sail to New York and back.Turn to chapter 1 if you want to walk the gangplank.
