Publisher's Synopsis
Inspired by the eighteenth-century French navigator Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, the book charts the story of a contemporary round-the-world sailing odyssey, covering over 55,000 nautical miles. Author and sailor Grant Gordon shares his experiences on board his yacht Louise crossing each of the great oceans and visiting thirty-five countries, mostly off the beaten track. This travelogue records the friendships, people and places that shaped this unique adventure.
'Life would be dull without dreams, but those with the courage to fulfil them are the pathfinders. Grant Gordon's diary of Louise will entertain and inspire.' Pete Goss MBE, yachtsman, author and adventurer.
