Sailing by Starlight is a fascinating piece of non-fiction about Marvin Creamer's journey around the world--without the use of instruments--told in beautiful prose that gives so much life to this story. For history buffs, fans of seafaring tales, or those who simply want to read about a truly fantastic journey by an incredibly interesting person, you won't want to miss out on Sailing by Starlight. - NYT bestselling author Tosca Lee************************Sailing by Starlight is a superb sea story that harkens back to the days when sailors relied on all their senses rather than technology to navigate. Marvin Creamer displays throughout the story incredible faith in his abilities and senses as well as resolute perseverance against all odds as he and his crew circumnavigated the world in S/V Globe Star.-- CAPT David Jackson, USN (Ret.) Sailing Instructor, USNA******************************************I've had the pleasure of reading Sailing by Starlight. I tip my hat to Marv Creamer and the crews of the sailing vessel Globe Star. Sitting here in New Zealand, aboard our "giant-sized" ocean crossing sailboat, Tango, I was thrilled, concerned, and sympathetic reading this epic adventure.

I completely understand Marv's focus and the self-reliance that enabled his success. This was a wonderful read for anyone with a desire to read a real adventure with real people. -- CMDR John Harrington, USCG (Ret.)***********************Sailing By Starlight is a book about a saga, a quest, a journey. It is meticulously written, exhaustively researched, and a compelling read. Sailors and non-sailors alike will be fascinated by the story of Marv Creamer and his lifelong goal (obsession) of sailing without instruments. It is truly a remarkable achievement and author Rod Scher has managed to make Marv's story accessible both to readers who may not be familiar with nautical terminology and to those who understand the demands of world cruising. Sailing By Starlight chronicles a remarkable journey and is a captivating read.

Well done, Rod Scher!-- Patricia Wood, author of Lottery.
