In 1966/67 Sir Francis Chichester sailed his 54' ketch around the world single-handedly in an epic adventure lasting 9 months, 1 day. Joy, solitude, exhilaration, exhaustion and triumph are all delivered in abundance; a fascinating read.

Sir Francis Chichester tells a fascinating and detailed story of his historic solo circumnavigation via the Southern Oceans. From day to day, with changes in the weather and the boat's responses to it, there were plenty of surprises both good and bad. I enjoyed reading this book very much.
