Sea Change Alone Across the Atlantic in a Wooden Boat

"Nichols...is a real sailor whose affinity for his boat seems to have been absolute....As he sails Toad toward his destination in Maine, as he discovers the joys and fears of sailing alone and as the boat responds doughtily to the ocean's challenges, he conveys with real acuity what wooden boats and those who sail them are all about. His story ends in a surprising but apt way....Peter Nichols takes a darker, less certain turn. In that respect as in others, his book comes closer to human experience and truth.Nichols, Peter is the author of 'Sea Change Alone Across the Atlantic in a Wooden Boat' with ISBN 9780140264135 and ISBN 0140264132.
