Reader's note

A lovely vintage edition of the classic Alone Across The Atlantic by Francis Chichester. This account of a transatlantic voyage under sail is quite unique. The voyage itself is the first one of its kind; others have crossed the Atlantic single handed successfully, but this crossing was made by the winner of the first transatlantic race ever held. The author has faithfully recorded every detail of the trip, his impressions of sea and weather, his every thought on navigation and many other, more personal matters, continuously day-by-day and often hour-by-hour. Such a personal record cannot fail to give this book an unprecedented freshness and sincerity and the unusual but endearing character of the author emerges clearly. A gem among a bounty of out of print, rare and stunning vintage books in our second hand bookstore.
