Desperate Voyage


My favorite sailing book has to be Desperate Voyage, by John Caldwell.
bookcover

This book tells the harrowing story of a novice sailor who sets off from Panama to be re-united with his bride following WWII. His mis-adventures are phenomenal. You will never forget his battle with the shark or his adventures in cuisine. I can't believe he lives to tell the story.

The first two-thirds of the book are stronger, but it's still a fun read.

If you like sailing and adventure you will enjoy this book.
