I was sucked into this exotic biography from the first page. I loved following the early life of Bernard Moitessier and observing the events that led to his passion for the sea and for sailing. This man was born to sail, and I learned as much about the lifestyle of sailing as I did about the technol Leggi tutto
So glad to have been able to read the little gem from one of my personal heroes. I must say The Long Way remains my favorite of his, but this is a worthy runner up! A legend.
Wow, this book was a game changer for me in so many ways!
