A skillfully documented nautical voyage and a personal search for understanding

Sailing with Strangers is the true memoir of experienced sailor and fly fisherman Charley Hester who joined forces with five people he never previously met aboard a forty-six-foot sailboat for a six-month, 15,000 mile voyage around South America, en route the Panama Canal, the Galapagos, Easter Island, Cape Horn, and the Falkland Islands. Their experience was one of excitement and fear, battling equipment failures, interpersonal conflicts, the hazards of the ocean, and a near-tragedy rounding Cape Horn. A personal search for will and greater self-understanding against the challenges of the world, and the quest to fulfill an extraordinary dream, Sailing with Strangers is both a skillfully documented nautical voyage and a personal search for understanding. Highly recommended.
