Summary of Cape Horn: The Logical Route ; 14,216 Miles Without Port of Call

It is the story of Joshua (named for their sailing hero, Joshua Slocum), the dreamboat that became a reality, of how Moitessier recovered from the disaster of losing his previous boat-which he built himself-to pursue his great love, sailing the world's oceans.

It is also a mariner's guide to the pleasures and perils of sailing the Trade Winds, the archipelagos of the Pacific, and the Cape Horn route including preparation suggestions and the sailing survival knowledge that made the Moitessier's voyage successful and joyous.

Bernard Moitessier was one of the world's great small-boat sailors, and he displays his skills and knowledge in this book. He writes with great feeling, bringing every minute of the voyage to life with vividness, which makes this book exceptional.
