Description
From the cover of the original 1984 hardcover edition:"This is a sea story, an almost incredible sea story, and yet much more. The author, at the age of forty, has already sailed alone around the world once and is in the process of sailing it again--this time in an eighteen-foot open boat--in what is already the greatest open boat voyage of all time.
