Product Description : The Long Way is Bernard Moitessier's own incredible story of his participation in the first Golden Globe Race, a solo, nonstop circumnavigation rounding the three great Capes of Good Hope, Leeuwin, and the Horn. For seven months, the veteran seafarer battled storms, doldrums, gearfailures, knockdowns, as well as overwhelming fatigue and loneliness. Then, nearing the finish, Moitessier pulled out of the race and sailed on for another three months before ending his 37,455mile journey in Tahiti. Not once had he touched land.

Ideal reading for yachts people.
This book is a 5 star book for yachtsmen and yachtswomen only. Normal readers would find it difficult to understand the nautical situations and technical terms. Alot of the descriptions give implied understandings of the sea that can only be appreciated by sailors.
