Description
Cape Horn.The Logical Route.
Ship wrecked and destitute Bernard Moitessier find himself in Trinidad going through options to get himself to sea, then a phone call changed his situation in a way he never thought possible, fortune shone on him again. After accepting a passage back to Europe on a freighter he started from scratch and once again got the boat he wanted. Built of steel and a sea-kindly hull Joshua took Bernard and his wife to Tahiti where life was as it should be.
The time comes when one has to take another tack and so to get back to Europe, Cape Horn was The Logical Route. Francoise his wife was not an experienced sailor and the journey was not easy but Joshua looked after them.
Bernard Moitessier writes with a great sense of philosophy, never dramtic, always calm and accepting of the conditions Moitessier writes a very readable book. This book also has a chapter Designer’s Notes which has a lot of discussion on the seaworthiness of that particular design, worth reading if you are looking at a specific cruising design.
