When I think of Adlard Coles, I think of the publishing house, but the fact is that the person behind that same institution was first off a small craft sailor just like you and I. This, his first book, is the tale of his first ever, long-distance cruise. What a career lay ahead of him! Despite not really knowing exactly what they were doing, Coles and his crew ventured across the storm-tossed North Sea and into the sand bar nightmare of the Zuider Zee & Frisian Islands. Unperturbed, they then crossed into the Baltic Sea, finally fetching themselves up in Copenhagen. Whist the voyage alone, in a 20ft yacht is noteworthy enough, Coles' narrative gives a unique glimpse also into the bubbling cauldron of unrest, that was sweeping Europe at this time, exactly 101 years ago.

Capt Joshua Slocum is famous among sailors for his single handed circumnavigation, West around the world between 1895 and 1898. No one had ever completed such a voyage alone and Slocum's book about his adventure became an instant classic, compared by some to David Henry Thoreau's 'Walden'. The real life character behind the myth, was and still is very much a mystery only compounded by the fact that Slocum went back to sea in 1909 and was never heard from again. This incredible book takes us on a unique journey, meeting people who knew the Capt, not least three of his children (then surviving in the 1950's) and his wife, Hettie, then in her nineties. There are many books about Slocum, but to me, this is the one that answers the most questions, and clarifies at least some of the burning questions about why this man, before all others, should be the one to take on, and succeed, in the heretofore impossible. In the final chapters we also learn the details of Slocum's last departure and begin the discussion on where the Capt was headed on his next great adventure.
