Travel Tales: Sea Stories — The Ways of Water I have collected so many fascinating stories of traveling the World's waterways from tales of ocean-going travel by huge ocean liners, and cruise ships to even sailboats. Indeed, if you expand the notion of travel along the World's waterways as well to include some of the Planet's most famous rivers, and if you consider the huge variety of means of water transport to also include small boats, canoes, rafts, and even scuba and snorkeling, and the like, you have an idea of the huge panoply and wealth of the means of water travel which travelers and adventurers are known to traverse and enjoy across the Globe. Indeed, if you consider the variety of purposes that travelers make use of bodies of water as well you will appreciate the wealth and variety of water-borne activities travelers and adventurers engage in from basic means of transport from one port to another to participate in an enormous variety of water-borne activities, including sports, entertainment, and exploration that travelers involve themselves with. It's so huge, after all. the why and the wherefore of how we engage in so many water-related activities that it does nothing less than boggle the mind, so much so, that in my True Travel Tales book series I have dedicated one entire volume to the myriad of water-travel and traveler-adventurer-related waterborne activities that travelers engage in whether for the simple purposes of transport from say here to there to the almost limitless variety of entertainment, and adventure activities as well as mind expansion that travelers engage themselves in. To be sure, the huge wealth and variety of water-related traveler-adventurer activities that people engage in will be seen to include an almost unimaginable variety of activities that a mere perusal of the chapter titles in Travel Tales: Sea Stories — The Ways of Water will be impetus enough to stir your imagination to appreciate more the huge scope and variety of possibilities, many of which you may not have even ever thought of. So relax and engage yourself in reading some of the most interesting travel tales that have resulted from my interviews of some 2,000 world travelers and adventurers on the particular subject of traversing and experiencing some of the World's most engaging waterways. On a more serious note please be advised some of the stories in this book take a more somber look at some of the more serious close calls, great escapes, and some not-so-lucky waterborne encounters of travelers during their travels and adventures around the Globe. In travel and adventure, just as in any other human activity, there are some serious personal safety and security issues that we must all engage ourselves in. Finally, very sadly and very somberly, no book on travelers' and adventurers' experiences could ever be complete without paying homage to those solo women travelers who through no fault of their own have fallen victim to disappearing and even losing their lives at times to the dastardly (still very likely occurring)… North African slave trade as well as elsewhere throughout the World.
