This is "can't put down" read, about the rather disjointed Golden Globe
circumnavigation race of 1968-9 in which 7 sailors risked everything for
themselves rather than for fame and fortune. You do not have to be a
"Yachty" to read this! the book is about the drive and determination of
men to reach inner goals. Peter Nichols writes in an easy to read and at
time quite light hearted way. One suspects that he himself has had
brushes with madness on his various trans-ocean treks, Libby Purves
comment that Nichols has a distain for Robin Knox-Johnson is in my
opinion something that was not obvious. I would recommend this book as a
5 star plus read ideal for the beach !!!.......
