Sailing alone across the Atlantic in a wooden boat gives plenty of chance to look back on your life and wonder how you got to the point where sailing alone across the Atlantic in a wooden boat becomes an attractive option. Nichols ruminates upon his love of sailing and how it has dominated his life above all else, taking him to idyllic places where money is way down the list of priorities as long as you can keep literally afloat. He recounts life with his ex and reflects on why it might have gone wrong but offers no blinding insights. As the voyage nears its end, the boat begins to sink and the end of a journey approaches. Eventually Nichols needs to be rescued from his boat as the water comes in faster than he can pump it out, sinking to the bottom of the Atlantic with just about all of his worldly possessions. He returns to the States realising his life needs to start again but recognising that this new start will still lead him inevitably back to the sea. ( ) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Sea Change is Peter Nichols' first book, a biographical account of his own dramatic adventure. When his marriage ended, Nichols had to sell the only thing he and his wife owned - their boat. With only his sextant, his instincts as a seasoned sailor and his memories of a floundering marriage, he sets out from England to sail to America to sell his beloved boat, Toad. Halfway across the Atlantic, Toad springs a leak. As the sea floods in faster, Nichols tries everything to stay afloat, desperately pumping the water out by hand. He loses the battle after three days and is forced to abandon Toad. This is more than a sea-tale. It is the painful story of his marriage, his boat and himself. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
