There are three versions of ourselves: what people think of us, what we think of ourselves, and who we actually are. Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall). From best gardening times, celestial events, tidal timetables - it's full of fascinating little tips and insights and I'm already looking forward to opening it at the start of each month. In a practical handy format the Reeds PBO Small Craft Almanac contains many unique features for small craft sailors and represents excellent value for money.

I am a different person now; my self-censorship is gone, I’ll stand up for what (I think) is right, regardless of the consequences. I don’t want to look back at my life and think I held back, that I didn’t stand up for what is right, that I didn’t make the positive change I could have because I didn’t want to make some people upset at me.

I only have a PDF of ‘the almanac - a seasonal guide to 2023’ on loan from Netgalley, and it only lasts for a couple of months, so I may splash out for a copy. In this bleak December, I'm hearted by the fact that we are approaching the Winter solstice tomorrow. A perfect toolkit for connecting with the world around us and the year ahead as it unfolds – all in a compact and pocket size guide that just begs you to pick it up and browse.As always there is no substitute for experience, but there are a few shortcuts you can use to help you gain that experience quicker.
