Sailing Alone: A Surprising History of Isolation and Survival at Sea
Year: 2024 Language: English Author: Richard J. King Genre: Textbook Publisher: Viking Edition: May 21, 2024 ISBN: 9780593656051 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 510 Description: “A masterfully curated collection...You don’t have to be a sailor to be blown away by this fascinating, bighearted book.” A story as vast and exhilarating as the open ocean itself, SAILING ALONE chronicles the daring, disastrous, and often absurd history of those who chose to sail across the ocean, in very small boats, alone. Sailing by yourself, out of sight of land, can be invigorating and terrifying, compelling and tedious - and sometimes all of the above in one morning. But it is also a wide expanse of time in which to think. Sailing Alone tells the story of some of the remarkable people who, over the last four centuries, have spent weeks and months, moving slowly over the world's largest laboratory: a capricious and startling place in which to observe oneself, the weather, the stars, and countless sea creatures, from the tiniest to the most massive and threatening. An enormously engaging new book for skippers and armchair voyagers alike. Audiobook:
