Peter Nichols is the author of A Voyage for Madmen, the story of the 1968 solo race around the world, and the recent Final Voyage: A Story of Arctic Disaster and One Fateful Whaling Season.
A tale leavened with humor, keen observation, and old-fashioned
sailing drama.
Nichols is marvelous at describing the feelings of awe and
loneliness that the sea inspires.
An alarming account, told with remarkable calmness ... that should
sweep away even the most resolute landlubber.
Plenty of thrills for the armchair traveller...captivating.
