Sit back and let this reading provide a warm respite. Exquisitely read!

On April 24, 1895, at the age of 51, he departed Boston in his tiny sloop Spray and sailed around the world single-handed, a passage of 46,000 miles, returning to Newport, Rhode Island on June 27, 1898. This historic achievement made him the patron saint of small-boat voyagers, navigators and adventurers all over the world. Many thanks, Mr Chant, for your wonderful reading. Highly recommended! What an adventure Philippe Horak 2008-03-17 12:06:49 2008-03-17 12:06:49 5 Well told true tale...chock full of vignettes from a bygone era.Entertaining every word.It's sad to hear how many things the author describes that are no more.Very well read too.
