40,000Nm, a circumnavigation of the world, completed double-handed, in a decked in, dug-out, red cedar canoe. The bare facts on the page already seem impossible.
There is only one sailor who holds a candle to Capt. Slocum, and that is Capt. Voss.
If you don't know who that is, don't worry, I didn't know either until I read this book. Now, I can't stop stop wondering how on earth he did what he did, and realizing once again, that modern sailing truly stands on the shoulders of giants.
I invite you to learn with me, the incredible story of one of the almost forgotten fathers of offshore sailing.
