This is the story of a sailing odyssey, but also of an inward
journey into deep truths about who we are and how we belong in the
universal scheme. A meditation on sailing and life, it is a hugely
enjoyable and thought-provoking book for landlubbers, sailors,
philosophers and naturalists alike. Mostly sailing alone, Peter
Reason invites us to share in the minute-by-minute challenges of
seamanship and navigation, on his journey in his yacht Coral from
Plymouth across the Celtic Sea and back again. Exploring far more
than the seaways, the author successfully manages to tell the story
of a journey with another dimension - that of investigating and
reflecting on our human place in the ecology of the planet. Above
all, this book shows us that Nature is not just a place to visit,
but our home.
