BOOKS COMMENT – IN THE SERVICE OF AEOLUS<\/strong>
\n\"\"Hi Peter. Your book is one of a class! It reads easily, gives information, it\u2019s entertaining, and the narrative navigates many \u00a0unpredictable sharps corners that takes it into the category of a thriller too.
\n\u00a0
\nI like all and\u00a0 some parts are at the edge of the impossibility spectrum, like when you describe how got the original Windpilot from an impulse buyer as a trade for your boat, who could replicate that? <\/p>\n

\u00a0
\n\"\"Your retrospect about\u00a0 the \u00a0boat expo could not be more descriptive , attending as a visitor only a few of them, sufficed\u00a0 me to stay away from many others and imaging what could be on the expositor side, and you survived\u00a0two hundred plus!
\n\u00a0
\nAround here and ,God forbid Newport, Maryland or Florida, those events are becoming an expensive proposal por most of the average sailors, not the tickets by itself ,but the Hotels, transportation and parking.
\n\u00a0
\nYour snippets about boats , circumstances and people add a lot of spice to the stories with\u00a0 some sobering aspect about some of them.
\n\u00a0
\nYou had a varied and challenging life, and your legacy is distributed around the world via a magnificent, sculpted aluminum billet , what an amazing triumph!
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"I feel\u00a0 proud\u00a0 to own one of your masterpieces and notice my elevated status when other sailors ask me about it.
\n\u00a0
\nThe illustrations , design ,and printing and format of the book are first class . Thank you for your gift, I appreciated it.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"In them is shown a homemade accessory \u00a0that I \u00a0installed at the\u00a0 Pilot power bar to regulate the tension of the line length, replaces the shortening\u00a0 block provided with the\u00a0 advantage of not necessitating to remove the line from the eye ropes at both sides below the coamings at the end of the trip.
\n\u00a0
\nAlso I included a few screenshot of the drawings produced prior to installing the Gear in the Cape\u00a0 paying atenci\u00f3n to instructions and\u00a0 making\u00a0 sure that all details were understood\u00a0 before drilling any holes.
\n\u00a0
\nHappy spring to you and your wife ,\u00a0 thank you for your help during my orders and\u00a0 let\u2019s cheer for your new \u00a0life\u00a0 as a writer!<\/p>\n

Regards
