Quest: Sailing the High Seas

Navigating the seas has always been hard and risky. We really have to learn the ropes of sailing before venturing into the horizon chasing dreams. And once we set sail, storms, winds and other hazards may strike while riding the waves. Being prepared is essential, and there are so many things we must remember to bring like food, fresh water and vitamin C. But above all those other things, don't forget to bring a book or two, for new horizons await you.

Add books you've read where a primary character sails the high seas.
