Sea Change
Alone Across the Atlantic in a Wooden Boat
by Peter Nichols
Many people go to the sea in boats, but few of them write as movingly about
the experience as Peter Nichols does in this enthralling meditation on the
wonders of sailing, the mystery of the sea, and the ebbs and flows of love.
With only a sextant, his own instincts as a seasoned sailor, and a boat full
of memories of his foundering marriage, Nichols sets out alone from England
for Maine, where he plans to sell his beloved twenty-seven-foot sailboat,
Toad. Combining the adventure of Into Thin Air, the nautical lore of The
Perfect Storm, and the spiritual self-discovery of The Snow Leopard, this
thrilling adventure is a classic tale of a man struggling to come to terms
with his reckless spirit, his highest hopes, and his broken dreams.
