| | Customer Reviews: A True Classic (20 June 2007)Extremely well written by a truly great Englishman. What comes across in this book is his sheer down-to-earth, common-sense approach to a formidable enterprise. If you want the poetic appreciation of the sea, read Bernard Moitessier. If, however, you want a rattling good yarn, told exactly like it was, read this book - the first of several by this master mariner, whose adventures have continued to the present day. Quite an adventure (01 November 2006)I really enjoyed this book. It gives an insight into the mind of one of the greatest adventurers of our time. 1968 seems a long time ago (I was only a 1yo baby!) but this guy was out there doing his stuff. He conveys a sense of freedom we can only dream of these days. I guarantee this will inspire you (27 April 2004)I love this book. It is an amazing story. Anyone interested remotely insailing should love it. If you haven't read it, I strongly recomend it.The idea of sailing from Falmouth single handed and alone non-stop aroundthe world in a 32 foot wooden yacht, back into Falmouth again - is simple- yet an awesome challenge for 1968 and before the days of GPS, computersand modern boat materials. An amazing tale, I treasure this book. | |
