After the First World War, Ralph Stock bought a small sailing boat and set off with two companions to find a life worth living. The voyage runs from England by way of Vigo and the Canary Islands, across the Atlantic to the West Indies, through to the Marquesas and the coral atolls of the Paumotu, with plenty of candid confessions about seasickness, crew and the gap between dreams and boats.
A cheerful, self-mocking small-boat voyage narrative that will appeal to anyone who has ever wanted to sail away. Download the free EPUB.
