From Land's End to Cape Clear, past Roaringwater Bay and Cod's
Head, on past Inishvickillane and Inishtooskert, up through the
Hebrides, to Orkney and on to the Faeroes stretches the richest and
wildest coastline in Europe. Adam Nicolson decided to sail this
coast in the "Auk," a 42-foot wooden ketch, embarking on a
1,500-mile voyage through what he hoped would be a sequence of
revelatory landscapes. He was not disappointed.
"Seamanship" is more than a travel journal. It describes an
inner journey as much as an outer one--disasters and discoveries,
powerful landscapes and modern visionaries, and encounters with the
animals living on the wild edge of the Atlantic. Above all, it is
about the gaps that open up between those who go and those who stay
at home.
"Seamanship," in the end, is not about the sea. It's about
being alive.
