Yachting-Live

Review
“In this deceptively simple way, he is a heart-stopping writer…like all the best travel books, it embraces reflectins on a variety of subjects unconnected with travel…It has spontaneity, gaiety and freshness.” —Sara Wheeler, Daily Telegraph

“He describes–very beautifully–what he found essential in his cruise: the wind, the sounds, the odours, the mountains, the islands, and the effect they had on him and on his imagination…He can be compassionated, ecstatic about nature, jaundiced, cynical, arrogant, anguished. His diatribe against war is superb.” —Times Literary Supplement
