Description:
This maritime classic conveys the thrill of being the first to circumnavigate the globe single-handedly in a small boat. New England sea captain Joshua Slocum defied the experts, setting out in the spring of 1895 in his 34-foot sloop, the Spray. Three years and 46,000 miles later, the indomitable skipper returned to tell the remarkable tale of his historic voyage. In a fast-paced, vivid style, he writes of his encounter with Black Pedro, "the worst murderer in Tierra del Fuego"; foiling a nocturnal attack by savages on the Spray's deck; being submerged by a great wave off the Patagonian coast; dodging coral reefs in the South Seas; the "rain of blood" in Australia; and many more harrowing events.
