Publisher's Synopsis
This is what singlehanded sailing is all about: magical moments that fill the senses, where it's just you and the boat and the open sky.
Come along for the ride with Paul Trammell in his solo quest for adventure in The Bahamas. In this dramatic and immersive nonfiction, firsthand account of a singlehand sailing voyage, Paul sails alone on a 30' Dufour Arpege from Jacksonville, Florida to the central and southern Bahamas. Searching for uninhabited islands, blue holes, serenity, surf, and natural beauty, the author encounters all this, as well as foul weather, sharks, a near-death experience, beautiful sunsets, enchanting islands, a hermit, friendly sailors, coral reefs, whales, eels, and an old friend. Solo-sailing technique is occasionally discussed, and both successes and mistakes are included.
