This is the title of a book from earlier days (before1989) in seakayaking and is describing seakayak explorations along the Scottish coast.
Days in which nobody could think of a GPS, a GSM, a satelite telephone or other modern gear. But the kayakkers of these days turned out to be very skilled in navigating without al this.

As I read the book long ago, it comes sometimes back into my mind togeter with the wist to read it again. So I tried to buy it, but I did not succeed. Even a secondhand one stayed out of reach.

BUT: as a suprise a good friend of mine, Hans Ammerlaan and a collector of ancient kayaks books, phoned me on the 1th of april:
""are you still interested in The Argonauts... ? Yes of course!! You found one for me? OK, just buy it!""

After some hours, I must confess, I thougth " could this be an 1-april-joke ?" No...., I never saw Hans think of jokes like that.

So, Yesterday there it was, Hans dropped by and brougth me the book. Unfortunately I was not at home and he had it carefully dropped in the postbox by lowering it with a rope.
THX Hans!!!

So now the reading can start. What I especially remember from the book is an impressive tour where a couple of the leading seakayakers from the time dit meet themselves after having decided they could manage to paddle home after a gale did come up.
They felt immense small and lonely in this see and did learn they should ever respect the sea.
