Legendary account of the author's voyage around Cape Horn in a 32-foot sailboat, sailing east to west (thus the Horn is to starboard, or on the right). This is a notoriously difficult and dangerous passage, especially in a boat this size.

This is a true adventure book. Especially for those craving the open ocean. A very well told story that keeps you wondering what’s coming next at the end of each chapter.

Ambitious sailor, beautiful girl, and a Contessa 32

this [audio]book tales the adventure from New York to San Francisco via the Cape Horn [S. America] passage

having just finished "Sailing a Serious Ocean," there are a lot of similar themes here: sailing + etiquette, travails at sea, handling crises as they occur, boat repairs...

i found myself researching small sailboats to attempt something similar, hehehe

great material(!)

i enjoyed this one -- short & sweet

For the most part this was a great story. It was the telling of an obviously grand, dangerous, and possibly foolhardy adventure. I really enjoyed the book, up until the very end. It's not a spoiler to say the story revolved around sailing around Cape Horn. My issue came at end of the voyage. The writing got sloppy and the ending was just thrown in. And it left so many unanswered questions. The main issue is there was a character who was the second most important character (after the author) through the entire book. At the end we are teased with this grand foreshadowing of what might happen, then nothing happens. Even though she was integral to the story, her name was only mentioned once in passing in the last 20 minutes. What the heck happened? I needed closure on her character as well.

Overall very good, but ended abruptly

The author wrote a terrific book. It’s journey draws you in and has you join the crew. You can feel the wind and the waves. Unfortunately, Audible selected a performer to read the book who mis-pronounces common English words and mangles sailing jargon. I heartily recommend the book for the strength of the writing and it’s compelling stories. You’ll just have to suffer (and occasionally swear) at the performer.

Great story, poorly read

I like all of John's books. Great story! very entertaining! seems to be missing details that are covered in his other books. I guess that's how he keeps you coming back!

Great book!

…and his stories are enjoyable. This is essentially his origin story of a noob sailor becoming a blue water adventurer. Good stuff.

Kretscmer is a legend…
