I'm still under great influence after reading this book, it's really inspirational and moving. Harrer has created a deep character description, he's dynamic, changing all the time, finding and challenging himself. It is full of hear warming anecdotes. I highly recommend it! I'm a great enthusiast of this kind of trips and places.
If you enjoy sailing this book is perfect for you. As I started reading it I just couldn't put id down. It's a story of a struggle of a man who was left alone in an extremely difficult situation- alone, in the broken boat, with no radio or engine going. All that he was left with was his strong will and eagerness to complete his race, ale save his own life. A real high adventure story!!
