Godforsaken Sea

Embark on a perilous journey through the world's most treacherous and isolated seas with this award-winning book. Follow the sixteen sailors who set out on a single-handed yacht race and discover the unrelenting strain and chilling casualty rates that come with handling 60-foot boats day and night for three and a half to five months alone at sea. Learn about the sea and its power over us, drawing us in and repelling us, and why some risk everything to sail its waters. This special anniversary edition includes a new foreword from the author.
