Publisher's Synopsis
BY THE AGE OF TWENTY-ONE, MY SON HAD SAILED ABOARD A TALL SHIP ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS. AT THE AGE OF TWENTY-TWO HE WROTE A POEM WHICH, ONCE HEARD, CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. AT THE AGE OF TWENTY-THREE, HE TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. THIS IS WHAT I DID NEXT... Cape Horn is renowned as one of the most remote and bleak parts of the world: the sailor's Everest. Paul Heiney set off from England - alone - to rediscover his son's voice through the medium of sailing, which Nicholas loved, and through the poignant poem that was his son's legacy. This is a story of adventurous seafaring, and of a man coming to terms with the greatest loss imaginable.
