Revue de presse

Yes, Slocum's journey was 'epic' but it was also eccentric, unlikely and his unsurpassable action elegiac...The unaffected and quirky intimacy with which he writes will never be matched. You cannot do what he did any more.
- Matthew Parris

Boys who do not like this book ought to be drowned at once.
- Arthur Ransome

One of the all-time classic sailing narratives.
- Classic Boat

It is riveting stuff... A great read. --- The Nautical Magazine
