Round the World in the Wrong Season, by Eric T. Wiberg - Written
between 1994 and 2009, is a memoir of global travel and an
unfulfilled college crush. The book follows the narrator out of
school and across the Pacific. At only 23 he has command of a
68-foot Burmese-teak ketch built in Scotland thrust upon him. The
owner is on a voyage home to his death, and along the way they hire
sailors twice the skipper's age. They makes it to New Zealand in a
storm which sinks seven yachts, then spends months shearing sheep
and writing a memoir. By the time the narrator makes a rendezvous
with his college sweetheart (who has been teaching Thai students on
the Burmese border), she seems to have all but forgotten him. This
leads to a less than satisfactory denouement and puts at least one
of them in the hospital. The book includes extensive photographs
and hand-drawn charts and a detailed bibliography. It is over 400
pages in length, perfect bound in cloth. More www.wrongseason.net
