The 8 (Eight) Best Bruce Springsteen Books


Sailors with disABILITIES - David Pescud - , together with the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA), held the inaugural SWD Making Waves Regatta on March 10, 2017. The Regatta's purpose was to raise funds for children with disability and who are facing adversity. Disable-bodied sailors rule the waves 
Since 1994, over 42,000 children and adults have benefited from programs run by Sailors with disABILITIES (SWD). SWD is a non-profit organisation created to act as a catalyst for change in the lives of people living with disabilities, their carers and disadvantaged youth.
For 23 years, SWD has been bringing smiles to the faces of children with disabilities. Having the thrill of steering the boat or pulling the rope is proof of what can be achieved by children facing adversity.
SWD can only continue its work with the continuing support of the Australian public. Afloat Magazine March 2018 Edition

  • The 8 Best Bruce Springsteen Books


    From his earliest work, Bruce Springsteenproved himself to be a natural dramatist with a knack for crafting memorable, fleshed-out characters—none more elaborate than himself. Few artists from the classic rock era take as much care in accurately telling their own story; it’s hard to imagine Bob Dylan or Neil Young refining their memoir into a digestible Broadway show, let alone performing it themselves night after night, as Springsteen is doing right now. Starting in the 1970s, one of his most effective habits in concert set a precedent for this intimate kind of storytelling, when he preceded already-intimate songs like “The River” or “Growin’ Up” with long monologues about his childhood. It was his way of assuring that we didn’t misunderstand him
