robin apžvelgė autoriaus Bernard Moitessier knygą The Long Way
This was one I really enjoyed last year
Terrific book; one to re-read again. Bernard mentions Huxley’s "Island", as one of his favourite books, and I will read that, too.

The Long Way
(1 atsiliepimas)
The Long Way is Bernard Moitessier's own incredible story of his participation in the first Golden Globe Race, a solo, non-stop circumnavigation rounding the three great Capes of Good Hope, Leeuwin, and the Horn. For seven months, the veteran seafarer battled storms, doldrums, gear-failures, knock-downs, as well as overwhelming fatigue and loneliness. Then, nearing the finish, Moitessier pulled out of the race and sailed on for another three months before ending his 37,455-mile journey in Tahiti. Not once had he touched land.
