‘Why not send the story of my record attempt by radiotelephone every day?’ A New Zealand magazine had bought a similar story from me on my 1936 flight. I offered my story first to The Observer, because they had been so pleasant to deal with in the 1960 race; but a daily story was not really suitable for a Sunday paper. Towards Christmas 1961 John Anderson of The Guardian asked me to present the annual prizes to a sailing association of which he was vice-commodore. I remembered a review he had written of my book, Alone Across the Atlantic, which

All this time I had been pondering my 1960 race across the Atlantic. Before the start I had known that the rival yachts would never see each other, and I had set myself a target time to race against, thirty days. This was the time I reckoned that a winning yacht of Gipsy Moth’s class should take with a full crew of six, in an RORC race across the Atlantic from east to west. In 1962, for example, there were twelve RORC races in British and French waters. They averaged 250 miles apiece, so that the twelve totalled the same

Despite their sedentary reputation, New Yorkers enjoy cycling, baseball. You can always walk away from the crowds who tend to settle near the parking areas. To get there, take the Long Island Railroad from Penn Station to Freeport, and then a bus (frequent service in summer) from the station to the beach. Of course you can also go by car. Only a subway (B. QB) ride away is Coney Island in Brooklyn, the birth-place of the hot dog. If you find the beach too crowded or noisy or dirty, wander over to the amusement park. This is a very good

CIGARETTES, CIGARS, TOBACCO. You may pay anywhere from 55 to 80 cents for the same brand of cigarettes, depending on the type of store. And a packet from a vending machine always costs much more than one obtained in a supermarket or at a news-stand. Naturally, cigarettes are cheaper when bought by the carton. Be prepared to pay a dollar or more for British-made cigarettes. The choice of pipe tobacco, both home-grown and imported, is vast, and New Yorkers even claim that their city is the world’s cigar capital (though none from Cuba they’re not available in the U.S.). CLOTHING.

Kennedy airport is hectic and customs formalities seem never-ending. Arriving from abroad, you must first present your passport, the customs declaration form and your disembarkation card to an immigration official. He w ill attach a temporary residence visa to your passport which must be given back when you leave the country. After you’ve collected your luggage from the conveyors, you take it to one of the customs officers to clear. DRIVING. Since New York traffic is heavy and New York streets difficult to navigate in, the best solution is to use taxis, buses and the subway. If you must drive

Lower East Side At the turn of the century, the period of the main waves of immigration, many newcomers moved into the Lower East Side. The vast majority of them stayed only a few years, long enough to learn English, find a job and set off to make a living elsewhere in the United States. Some stayed on, though, and today three small ethnic enclaves remain on the Lower East Side: Chinatown, Little Italy and the Jewish quarter. For some, life hasn’t changed much since their grandparents’ day. These cultural islands are all clustered together. You can see all three
