Klappentext Nic Compton is a writer, photographer and sailor who has spent his life around boats. Having worked as a journeyman shipwright, journalist and editor of Classic Boat , he now has 15 books about ships and seafaring to his name. He currently lives by the River Dart in Devon, from where he sails a Romilly 22 called Ramona . He still listens to the Shpping Forecast before he ventures out onto the sea. Zusammenfassung From the places themselves – how they got their names, what’s happened there through the ages – to the poems and parodies that it’s inspired, this is a beautifully evocative tribute to one of Britain's – and Radio 4's – best-loved broadcasts.
