Book Tip 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Once Munich – Antalya, please”<\/h2>\n

On the art of traveling slowly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The description of a longing journey under sail! The travel memoirs of author Thomas K\u00e4sbohrer, who after an abrupt career end decides to travel by bus from Munich to the Slovenian Izola, and from there to sail with his small sailboat “Levje” ever further east, are with each page a true reading pleasure. Readers accompany the author on his five-month journey along a millennia-old route through the Mediterranean to Antalya in Turkey.<\/p>\n

The reader of “Einmal M\u00fcnchen – Antalya, bitte” can expect a book about history and people on the coasts of the Mediterranean, about the longing for the sea and the search for what can be called a “happy life”. Where others still call for “deceleration,” “Once Munich – Antalya, please.” feels like a day at sea: you never want to get off the boat again.<\/p>\n

Book tip 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Manual Storm Tactics”<\/h2>\n

Sailing safely in extreme conditions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fear of storms has kept many capable sailors from venturing out on the open seas. This book shows proven methods for properly handling a little extra wind that work for all sizes and types of sailing yachts. Special sections explain storm sail construction, sea anchor technology, and how to properly prepare the crew for some rough hours on board.<\/p>\n

The storm tactics presented in this book have been tested by the author couple Lin and Larry Pardey not only off Cape Horn, but also in the Atlantic, the Mediterranean or the Baltic Sea. Translated and edited by Thomas K\u00e4sbohrer, these accounts of their experiences have been supplemented with information, graphics and pictures to help keep calm in a storm and do the right thing to bring ship and crew safely into port.<\/p>\n

Book Tip 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Storm”<\/h2>\n

Extreme situations at sea<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Few people voluntarily go to sea when the wind is blowing at 8, 9 or more Beaufort. The stormy sea is a place of walls of water, rain fronts, gusts like slaps in the face, a dancing horizon and noise that swallows every word.<\/p>\n

In “Storm. Sailors on their most dramatic hours” Thomas K\u00e4sbohrer has collected the stories of 30 sailors who take on storm and waves to bring their ship, crew and themselves safely back to shore. They tell of how vacation sailing, which had just been cheerful, turns into danger to life and limb out of the blue. How the Atlantic crossing suddenly leads to capsizing in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. How the anchorage off the dream island, which was thought to be safe, becomes an inescapable trap for four yachts, from which only one escapes. Stories of storms in the Ijsselmeer are included as well as stories of waterspouts in the Mediterranean or storms in the Caribbean. An adventure book for anyone who loves the sea.<\/p>\n

Book Tip 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“My boat is my home”<\/h2>\n

Technology & tips to make the dream of living aboard a boat a reality<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cabin instead of fireplace: when Holger Peterson trades his cozy home for life on his small steel yacht, not only many practical questions arise, but also a myriad of experiences, encounters and adventures. This book motivates to see cruising and on-board life as a holistic alternative to life on land – with an unobstructed view of the sea or the cities on the rivers from “unobstructed waterfront property”. To work in the morning, to the boat in the evening – and that even in winter? Holger Peterson lives this dream and shows that living on board is a real alternative. This book shows how you can turn your own boat into a floating home with little money, some technical know-how and a dose of idealism.<\/p>\n
