This is a true story of Vic Gillings, a former Bobby and military man, who left his career and Country behind and took off with lovely Marcia to sail into endless sunsets, but also into reality, periods of real discomfort, freezing weather and abject terror only the sea can stir up. With fifty years before the mast, the author chronicles the good times, as well as the dangers he encountered, in a witty, colorful and often self deprecatory fashion, whether he is shooting stars with his sextant at midnight, making bread in the galley below while hove to, or making a life or death decision at a gripping moment, he brings readers along with him for every nautical mile.
