Descripción de contraportada
More than Seventy Accounts of Big Adventures in Small Boats
In A Speck on the Sea, William Longyard reaches back through five centuries to gather a collection of sea adventures in which the smallest, unlikeliest craft--and the daring individuals aboard them--completed extraordinary voyages against great odds.
From canoes and small sailboats to a pair of strap-to-your-feet pontoons, the watercraft in these true stories make nearly as varied a collection as the mariners who piloted them. The intrepid seafarers and their feats of seamanship include:
- Ed Gillet's kite-powered transpacific kayak voyage
- Gladys Gradely's 1902 quest to become the first woman to solo the Atlantic
- Ben Lecomte's swim across an ocean for love
- Hugo Vihlen's 1968 ocean crossing in the 6-foot sailboat April Fool
- Peter Bird's tragic attempt to row across the Pacific
- And scores more
Whether driven by desperation, adventure, or a desire for fame and fortune, the risktakers in these stories show what vast oceans can be crossed in tiny contrivances by those who dare.
"Great fun to read."--Cruising World
"Very few reference books make for such riveting reading."--Good Old Boat
"Re-creates these awe-inspiring adventures in fascinating detail."--NW Yachting
"Seagoing heroes and scalawags come alive with rich detail in Longyard's volume of salty tales."--Judy Blumhorst, Commodore Emeritus, Northern California Association of West Wight Potter Owners and Webmaster, www.trailersailer.com
William H. Longyard has spent twenty-five years paddling, rowing, and sailing small boats of all kinds. He has published several books and written numerous articles for boating journals.
