Desperate Voyage by John Caldwell

#1789927 - 17/03/2008 20:53

Excellent book about a young man crossing the Pacific with no previous sailing experience. Comparable with "Ice Bird" for sheer white knuckle reading. Highly recommended.

Great read. I much regret lending it to a 'friend' and never seeing it again!

What an excellent book - up there with 'Voyage for Madmen' and Conrad's short sea stories as one of my all-time favourites!
