The eleventh & last chapter of Alfred Loomis' 1922 'The Cruise of the Hippocampus'. A delightful tale of a post WW1 voyage from the US to Panama in a 28ft yawl, affectionately nick-named 'Hippo'. 

If you have any sailing books published before 1925 that you think would be an interesting read for modern sailors please contact me at [email protected] and we will see if we can bring them and their forgotten voyages back to life here on Rare Nautical Reads.
