Description:

In this fast-moving account of high adventure at sea, sailor Alan Nebauer weaves a compelling tale of eight months (1994-1995) in the longest race on earth--the grueling solo, around-the-world BOC Challenge that begins and ends in Charleston, S.C., covering 27,000 nautical miles. Nebauer, whose unshakeable faith pulled him through a dismasting near Cape Horn and the loss of his rudder, managed to finish midfleet and win two seamanship medals along the way--one for rescuing a competitor whose boat sank in midocean. This well-illustrated account propels readers along with Nebauer for the adventure of a lifetime.
