Travel isn't always glamorous. Sometimes you're on the move for work, waking up jetlagged, a long way from home, and unsure what time it is back at the office. Sometimes you're dashing across a foreign city, hoping to make your next flight. Other times, you're simply standing in line.

A Week On The Wrist: The Tudor Pelagos 39: Compromising With Confidence

I would argue, yes, it does. And to that point, I am entering the last of what I have to say about the Pelagos 39. I covered the release , went hands-on , penned a cheeky comparison here, and explained the 39's selection as Hodinkee's Tool Watch of the Year .

Thirty Fathoms Deep

I enjoyed reading this book; it was a fun, light-hearted romp involving a search for sunken treasure, various dangers and difficulties involved in an underwater salvage, and pirates. There are a couple of moments in the book that are a 'sign of the times in which it was written' involving the captain's steward; fortunately, they are few and far in-between.

Ghost Ships of the Baltic Sea

Beautiful book with magnificent underwater photographs of shipwrecks in the Baltic. Some amazing pictures, some very poignant as you reflect the loss of life represented by these magnificent ships. Useful descriptions of the archaeology and history behind the pictures, but in the main, the pictures speak for themselves.
