Description
Australian David Adams made history in May 1995 with a record-breaking win in Class 2 of the BOC Challenge, a 27,000-mile solo round the world yacht race.
Chasing Liquid Mountains follows David from the moment in 1982 when he first conceived the dream of competing in this race, to his thrilling win aboard True Blue thirteen years later. It’s about setting a goal, and then overcoming enormous setbacks with exceptional determination to achieve that goal. In his own laconic and often humorous style David tells of:
- Dramatic mid-ocean rescues and rendezvous when disaster strikes at sea
- steering on deck for 48 hours with on sleep to stop his yacht cartwheeling down mountainous cliffs of water
- the motivational techniques that helped him cope with only 30 minute grabs of sleep, technical emergencies, treacherous storms, icebergs and frustrating calms.
