I have undertaken for a review for RCCPF of Paul Heiney's latest book just released;
Ocean Sailing: The Offshore Cruising Experience with Real-Life Practical Advice   see:  https://rccpf.org.uk/pilots/174/Ocean-Sailing

This is an excellent book for the aspiring ocean cruiser packed with examples taken from real-life experiences of ocean sailors within the membership of the OCC, RCC and CCA.
