Synopsis

Chris de Grabowski, first saw the sea when he was seven. From that moment, the sea was his passion. In 1959, at thirty-eight, he fulfilled his lifelong dream by sailing solo from Gibraltar to New York on his twenty-five foot sloop, "Tethys". Chris' account of his solitary eighty-four day journey details the grueling shakedown sail and the challenges and joys of a solo passage. His insight into the spiritual and emotional struggle to prepare for the voyage, as well as the extreme nature of the trip are inspiring and uplifting. Chris was lost in the Bermuda Triangle on January 13, 1964 pursuing his passion.
