Shortly after his retirement, author Robert S. Ashton buys a
1983 Nordic 40 sailboat. He names the boat "Chandelle," not
realizing at the time that it will be his home for the next ten
years.
Along with his friends, Don, Roger, and Martha, Ashton soon
joins a group of boats preparing to brave the Gulf Stream and
adjacent waters from Norfolk, Virginia, to the Caribbean. During
the next ten years, "Captain" Ashton sails to numerous destinations
in his quest to circumnavigate the globe, including the Panama
Canal, the Galapagos Islands, the Fiji Islands, Africa, and
Australia. Ashton meets an eclectic group of people, experiences a
variety of cultures, finds new members for his crew, and discovers
the freedom of sailing the open waters.
"This Old Man and the Sea" is a must-read for any sailing
enthusiast, revealing the highs and lows of extended life at sea
with wit, wisdom, and insight.
