The Voyage of the Cormorant: A Memoir of Quest By Open Boat On a Vast and Changeable Sea

By Christian Beamish

Book Overview

Christian Beamish, a former editor at The Surfer's Journal , envisioned a low-tech, self-reliant exploration for surf along the coast of North America, using primarily clothes and instruments available to his ancestors, and the 18-foot boat he would build by hand in his garage. How the vision met reality - and how the two came to shape each other - places The Voyage of the Cormorant in the great American tradition of tales of life at sea, and what it has to teach us.
