Read excerpt
Tomorrow you are invited to join me for the launch of my interactive “What If…” seamanship sessions! For 1 hour and 30 minutes, we will look at one of sailing’s universal nightmares: what if something happens to the captain? <source type="
The Sailor and Space (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s a curious business to be a sailor and to come home. My voice is hoarse, my body heavy from jet lag, my skin’s dehydrated, the house has become a launderette, my heart is full, I’m glum because I’m not sailing, I’m exhausted, and I’m relieved because I’m back.Once again here on my outrageously comfortable sofa (if I don’t say so myself…) I sit condemned to mourn that hateful allure of a sailor and the sea.We want it and we resent it and we love it and we thank the universe we’re away from it

The words resonated again, and again, each time the chorus replayed, like waves rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean onto a tidal beach, the earth rising to meet their powerful undercurrent, dispersing their roaring energy, spre
