4.0 out of 5 stars
a sentimental review,
This review is from: Airborne: A Sentimental Journey (DVD)
I would give this book five stars, but for the fact you almost need PHD to understand some of the language(although that is some of the charm). I remember Mr. Buckley, being on Johnny Carson when he was making the rounds with this book, back in the day. The book is written in a very enjoyable style, the overall book is about his crossing of the Atlantic in the mid seventies, however, there is fantastic tales of his sailing life. Mr. Buckley is very frank about the hardships of boat ownership and mistakes both he and others have made on board (over the years). There are stories that I would never tell on myself for fear of ridicule and this shows the very nature of the man. He is not some vain over-proud (except of his son of whom he writes of his admiration and love) man that is unaware of shortcomings, or better yet miscalculations, or perhaps better still the reliance on others to do their job as expected. For the crossing the book is written as pages form the log, with back stories and anecdotes, that are really helpful--this is a book that everyone who reads, should read. james smith
