Second, there is: 

                              ‘Adventuring out to Sea’

An aide-memoire for busy businessmen who love to sail to recharge their batteries but can do so for only a week or so each year – hence, they forget much in between

The book not only brings back happy memories but quickly gets them back up to speed when afloat

There’s also much read-across with the issues faced between being a good manager and being a good skipper

N.B. Profits from sales will be used to reward those valiant unpaid volunteers in the RNLI – Royal National Lifeboat Institution – who save lives, not just improve them
