Also in this genre: Moxie Marlinspike (yes, that[1] Moxie Marlinspike)'s documentary about anarchist yacht-squatting, "Hold Fast" (2007) https://vimeo.com/15351476

I was reminded of this book today when I read some comments here about the popularity of “sailing log” manuscripts.

This one is written by Paul Lutus, of Apple Writer fame.

In my spare time I message people of means to fund a 100ft carbon maxi sailing campaign to break ocean records at the major offshore events around the globe.(www.msailing.org)

I call it my moonshot, something I spend a few hours on a month, and you'd be amazed how many people actually politely decline.

I wish more people knew the joy and the rawness of the ocean.

Oh boy, this reminded me of The Boy Who Sailed Around the World Alone by Robin Lee Graham, which I randomly found and read in my school's library when I was 12 or 13. Still remember it 40+ yrs later.

Always wanted to do this but enjoying land-lubber life a bit too much at the moment. I'd like to think I've built most of the skills (sailing, electronics, mechanics, sewing, rigging, drinking amicably with strangers, radio, cooking, botany, etc.) but am yet to find a wife who's OK with sailing life: maybe just go anyway?

Reminds me of Tom Neale's "An Island to Oneself" - https://harpercollins.com.au/products/9781775492979

Tania Aelbi wrote a good one of her trip.

I’m working towards a solo circumnavigation myself. Love reading about the stories of others.

There is something wonderfully old-internet about finding a complete 3,5year solo circumnavigation memoir sitting on a plain HTML site
