Embark on an extraordinary maritime journey with the legendary Australian yachtsman Jon Sanders in this gripping account of his solo circumnavigations.

Most famously, it details his double circumnavigation of the globe non-stop and unassisted—a world-first achievement that cemented his place in nautical history. Through a narrative developed with Hugh Schmitt, the book captures the isolation, the relentless power of the Southern Ocean, and the technical challenges of maintaining a vessel alone for hundreds of days at sea. Sanders provides a humble yet vivid look into the psychological and physical discipline required to survive the world's most treacherous waters. This St. George Books first edition is a must-have for sailing enthusiasts and anyone inspired by tales of profound individual courage and the timeless allure of the sea.
