The site is called Project Gutenberg, and was founded in 1971 ... I didn't realize this was even a thought back then! There is no registration required, and there are all sorts of topics available. I looked up "Sailing", and didn't find anything, but then I looked up "Travel" and found several books about sailing.
The site also includes information about the founder, Michael Hart. Mr. Hart invented electronic books, and therefore left a major mark on the world. He seemed to be an amazing person who was also frugal, often using home remedies instead of going to the doctor and fixing his own car and home instead of hiring someone. He prided himself on being unreasonable, and he had some great words of wisdom. It's unfortunate that whether we want to or not ... most of us have heard of Snooky (not a fan!) and Lindsay Lohan, but not Michael Hart and so many other silent heroes that have been such a productive part of society. That's all I'll say about that!
Happy reading!
Hasta luego ... until then. Mid-Life Cruising!

If you have a Kindle, there's also a great site that posts free Kindle books on it every day. These are for the most part pretty light fiction reads, but like you said, they're free. The site is Ereader News Today

Yep, books on a boat isn't the greatest idea. I think you're on to something.
We are home from Indiana. Had a great time, but it's good to be home.
Have a terrific day. :)
