Sir Francis Chichester, venturer, hero

One summer I read through Chichester's books about sailing alone. Marvelous adventure. I'll never get to go myself, but this is the next best thing. I will always admire this man who was so comfortable in his own company, so able to meet all challenges, so determined to suceed. This is a good read if you like to examine the inside story, and don't expect a fast and furious pace.
