Ship Repairs in Order
According to the ancients, the 4th of February is con
sidered an auspicious day tor the repair of ships
It you haven't got a wooden ship to repair, you can
read about them instead Some classics include Robert
Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island Jack London’s
The Sea Wolf and Rudyard Kipling's Captains
Courageous. It you want ■
string of sea yarns by a ■
author, read the novels
Patnck O’Bnan But readei
bewaie' Once you get
hooked on O’Bnan’s sea
taring adventures you ma
never surface tor air 1
There is more treasure in hooks than in all
the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.
wr Always keep a book with you in the car in case of
unplanned delays.
