A story of a rather grumpy old man who sails around the world in a boat needing at least 2 crew, back in the '20's, a time before many undertook such journeys. The story holds your interest as it vividly describes how it feels to be out there in the open ocean, and also reminds you of how some of the ports of call appeared before the age of modernity left its imprint. Conor obviously knows a lot about boats and the sea, but he is very critical of those he encounters who know less. What's missing is any revelation of his personal life to give meaning to the adventure (recensie)
