Have very much enjoyed reading this link and learned a few things as well, was wondering does anyone know of any other such sites of chaps sailing around the world, other than the 1000 days ,and Kimchow, as would like to read some more of sailors accounts.

Artful- try-

http://inthepresentsea.com/webbchiles.html

That's Webb Chiles's website. It has many of his stories previously published in magazines and two of his full length books. THAT should keep you busy for a bit.

Then you can go to-

http://www.mcallen.lib.tx.us/books/circumna/ci_table.htm

Which is about all the circumnavigators, from way back at the turn of the 20th century forward.

After that, Try-

http://www.clevelandmemory.org/ebooks/tinkerbelle/

Which is Robert Manery's book about his Atlantic crossing in Tinkerbelle, his 12 1/2 foot boat. The whole book is there.

Then there's this one-

http://www.donberry.com/harbor2/harbor2.html

Which is a series of stories about the Pacific Northwest.

THEN if that's not enough, you can go here and just pick and choose ;D-

http://cruisenews.net/db/books.php

All of those are free on-line reads.

Thankyou very much there Charlie J, as this is something I've been searching for, at present I am tracking 5 boats on their world cruise, and all with great help for when I set off.  Again thank you

The link at the top of the Original Post appears broken.

The Youtube videos are still up.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -Mark Twain
