One of the best adventure books ever written, Sailing Alone Around the World is the true story of Joshua Slocum's solo voyage around the world - the first of its kind.
Setting off in 1895 aboard a 35 foot sloop named "The Spray", Slocum sails 46,000 miles crossing the Atlantic twice, navigating the Straits of Magellan, crossing the Pacific, and through Australia and South Africa. He takes the reader to worlds long lost to the age of consumerism but found in his memoirs.
Some say you can smell the salt air and hear the ocean when you read through its pages.
If you yearn to explore and need inspiration for your own adventures, this book is a must read.
But where, after all, would be the poetry of the sea were there no wild waves?
