40,000Nm, a circumnavigation of the world, completed double-handed, in a decked in, dug-out, red cedar canoe. The bare facts on the page already seem impossible.
There is only one sailor who holds a candle to Capt. Slocum, and that is Capt. Voss.
If you don't know who that is, don't worry, I didn't know either until I read this book. Now, I can't stop stop wondering how on earth he did what he did, and realizing once again, that modern sailing truly stands on the shoulders of giants.
I invite you to learn with me, the incredible story of one of the almost forgotten fathers of offshore sailing.
If you would like to listen to more about sailing, the sea and regular discussions about safety & seamanship; check out The Mariner Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.
