Only one person has ever sailed vertically around the world -
Adrian Flanagan. Sailing horizontally is difficult enough, crossing
thousands of miles of ocean only to get near land at the Capes and
battle treacherous currents. However, hundreds of sailors have
still managed it. Adrian became obsessed with the idea of sailing
vertically around the world as a boy, before he even knew whether
it was possible. Thirty years later he managed it. This is his own
account of his remarkable adventure. It was an epic challenge,
sailing through the perilous waters around Cape Horn and across the
remote, hostile stretch of the Russian Arctic. He survived being
washed overboard, capsizing, a close encounter with pirates, and
also managed to treat not one but two dislocated wrists - all of
this alone, a thousand miles or more from anyone who could help him
complete his quest. It wasn't all high drama, however. Adrian
experienced moments of awe-inspiring beauty - being accompanied by
a pod of whales, and swimming with dolphins. This is a timeless and
unique story, pacily written with a sense of humour, but which
captures the zeal and determination required to accomplish
something nobody else has ever done before.
