About this product
Product Information
Three vast oceans, two young men and one dubious idea - to sail around the world. When a sailboat barely bigger than a bathtub pottered into the English Channel, James and Tom began the adventure of a lifetime. In their little boat Blue Eye they set sail, ladened with the notion that happiness and freedom loitered just over the horizon. And yet as they journeyed between continents and across oceans, they found they were still anchored to their old unsatisfied selves. Hampered not only by the storms of the Atlantic Ocean and the pirates of the Red Sea, the craving nature of the human mind also threatens their bid to circumnavigate the world. From the Caribbean to the Suez Canal, James and Tom chase one sunset after the next, convinced a treasure trove of fulfilment lies waiting beyond the horizon. What will it take for them to discover that the sea is not always bluer on the other side? Hooked on the Horizon is Tom Dymond's travel memoir of sailing Blue Eye around the world. If you like being transported across oceans, escaping to far-flung paradises, and finding humour and philosophy in between, then you'll love the story of Blue Eye's adventure.Product Identifiers

What it's like to sail round the World in a small boat.
I greatly enjoyed reading this book. It is written from the perspective of someone who is not an experienced sailor joining up for a three year round the world cruise via the warm water route. As such, the book is a little short on technical and navigational detail that someone planning such a trip might want. He was with his sailing partner, James, for all of the trip, but there were extra crew for some of the legs.Their adventures are well described in prose that is, perhaps, a little flowery in places but I would rather have that than bland pilot book wording. He manages to convey the real feeling of sailing into a stunning anchorage in, say, the Marquesas, making one very jealous. This book is a wonderful read for the dark winter evenings.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
