A Sailor's Own Account of a Long Ocean Passage

Deborah Shapiro wrote these letters aboard the sailboat Northern Light during a sixty-one day ocean voyage, and they are collected here as a first-hand travel narrative rather than a technical sailing manual. The result reads as a personal, day-by-day account of life at sea over an extended passage, capturing the isolation, routine and occasional drama of long-distance cruising.

It sits alongside other sailing narratives that focus on the lived experience of a voyage rather than instruction, making it a good match for readers drawn to real sea stories.

Recommended for anyone interested in offshore cruising narratives or the personal side of long ocean passages.
