Can you imagine???

Going across the ocean alone with all the technology me have today would be a daunting task to say the least. Can you imagine doing it in a 18 ft schooner, all by yourself, in the 1800's with nothing but a clock and a sextant and a few maps? And sailing all the way from San Francisco to Australia? Well, that is exactly what this brave seaman did. Sam Ivey has taken a true story, taken from a the logbook of this determined young man and has embellished it with a few details to add a bit of drama. Like it needs any additinal drama! Mr. Ivey did a wonderful job telling this tale that needed telling of a brave man that did a task next to impossible to do with no thought of reward to himself. He just felt the need to do it. The sea was calling to him and he needed to go. Sam Ivey really makes you feel this man's yearnings. Please look for Mr. Ivey's other book, "Crooked Triangle", a fictional tale set on the Bermuda seas.
