Recommend me some ripping yarns about sailors crossing the Atlantic Ocean or similar

[Mickeyrouse]

Not necessarily intended to be a book of sea stories, but “Heavy Weather Sailing” by Adlard Coles has a series of stories about small boats, bad weather, and how Coles and other sailors coped. Mostly in European waters, it has a story or two on Atlantic crossings. I made sure I had suitable foul weather gear on while reading. Stories from the Fifties and Sixties before sat weather and routing services. When it was best you really knew what was going on when you went out.

I haven’t seen in this list “ Trekka” by John Guzzwel, (solo Circumnavigator) “Once is Enough” by Miles and Beryl Smeeton (circumnavigating couple, dismasted twice at Cape Horn)
“Around the World in Wander III” by Eric and Susan Hiscock (Another circumnavigating couple), anything by Lynn and Larry Pardey ( yet another multi-circumnavigating couple), “Dove” by Robin Graham (youngest solo circumnavigator at the time)….oh, this thread could become Cruiser’s Book Review

A classic: „Moby Dick“ and other books by Herman
Melville

Jack London, „Cruise of the Snark“

Tim Severin, „Brendan the Navigator“ and other books. Tim Severin, a historian, „reenacts“ historic voyages in crafts built similar to the original source of the story. Quite similar to Thor Heyerdals „Kontiki“.

Of course the books by Thor Heyerdal.

One of the best books I've read: Ten Degrees of Reckoning based on the true story of Judith Ann Sleavin and her family's misfortune in New Zealand waters and determination to find answers.

When I first dreamed of sailing across oceans myself 45 years ago, I read Lyn and Larry Pardey's "Cruising in Seraffyn" and later "Taleisin's Tales"! It opened my eyes to the Pacific Ocean and all it's wonders!
