Sailing the Pacific by Miles Hordern
In 1997, Miles Hordern set sail by himself on a twenty-eight-foot boat from New Zealand to South America, the largest uninterrupted stretch of water on earth, a region of icebergs, cyclones and treacherous seas. It was the beginning of an eighteen-month journey that would take him through the fords of Patagonia, one of the last uncharted areas in the world, and then north on the Peru current before he began his homeward passage. In prose so vivid readers can almost feel the spray sting their face and the giant swells roll beneath their feet, Hordern describes what he saw, felt, and did, giving a heart-clutching account of discovery and survival.SKU | Unavailable |
