Ain’t that nice!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE YOUR NAME IN PRINT?

My book on anchoring:

HOW TO ANCHOR SAFELY – SO YOU SLEEP WELL!

Is selling rather well for a book on such a particular subject in such a niche market, so I’m tempted to add a second book, or an appendix to the original to reissue. You can see inside the current book by searching for Malcolm Snook on Amazon

The new addition is:
GREAT ANCHORAGES OF THE WORLD

Of course I have a few ideas of my own, but not enough for a sizeable appendix or a whole new book! So I’m asking all my many sailing friends to submit suggestions as to great anchorages they know and love. You can submit one or several and state whether you’d like a credit ie this anchorage was submitted by Horatio Nelson of sailing yacht Victory.

If you want to submit several and have me add a link to a project of your own I’m open to ideas!

What I’m looking for is this:

Name of anchorage
Country
Lat and Long of a safe waypoint just outside the entrance for sailors to look up
Submitted by (If you want you name on it, leave blank if not)

A short description of what makes this anchorage so great in your view. As a guide: Is it particularly safe (that’s always good)? Holding? Is it a good bolt hole in bad weather? Is it tremendously beautiful? Does it have great facilities, a wonderful city, or do you love it for its seclusion? Is it special for its wildlife? Is it special for its social life? Is it a place you could over winter afloat with no problems? Any caveats? Any other comments or reasons of your own?

PLEASE SUBMIT TO

sailorsnook@yahoo.co.uk

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR OWN SAILING FRIENDS

IF YOU HAVE SAILORS AND CRUISERS ON YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE PLEASE POST IT THERE AND ASK OTHER SAILORS TO DO LIKEWISE.

A BIG THANK YOU – FROM MALCOLM SNOOK

Ken Bruce DJ versus James Stewart Actor

On his BBC Radio Two show this morning (9th January 2013) Ken Bruce asserted that various actors always played the same character and then sited John Wayne, Hugh Grant and James Stewart.

In that John Wayne played a lot of tough guy roles, cowboys and soldiers and the like I can see that argument. Hugh Grant has played a lot of hesitant, bumbling Englishmen, is he in fact acting one could even wonder?

James Stewart, however, the great James Stewart, who played roles as diverse as the eccentric Elwood P Dowd conferring with his imaginary giant rabbit called Harvey (a role Stewart played on stage as well as on film), through the altruistic nice guy in It’s A Wonderful Life and the determined naïve politician in Mr Smith goes to Washington, to a series of hard nosed western characters, is a different proposition altogether.

Stewart undertook, comedy, drama and horror with the same consummate professionalism. There are too many movies in his filmography to list them all, but many horror aficionados regard Hitchcock’s Vertigo as that director’s finest, starring Stewart alongside Kim Novak. I’ve already mentioned his foray into the world of the mind in Harvey, but he also played a hot tempered soldier, pleading insanity in the critically acclaimed movie Anatomy Of A Murder.

He played straight westerns and parodies of the genre such as Destry Rides Again. He was somewhat famous for playing American heroes, it’s true, but Charles Lindbergh and Glenn Miller are very different kinds of American heroes. I suggest that such versatility is beyond many actors and further suggest that Stewart’s distinctive voice did not come between him and the many and various characters he portrayed! Sorry Mr. Bruce but there it is!
