Consider Flirting with Mermaids by John Kretschmer. Recommended by 1 sources.
“Flirting With Mermaids reads like a salt-stained logbook of long passages: episodic, vivid accounts of Cape Horn, a Force 13 North Atlantic winter crossing, and an unusual Caribbean research voyage. The book's value lies in sensory storm reporting and concrete moments of seamanship that show how decisions play out under pressure. Its main limitation is anecdote density—stories accumulate without organized instruction—and an occasional taste for risk-tinted romance that won't satisfy readers looking for systematic technical guidance.”
