Voices from the Sea

MAYDAY! ABANDON SHIP! MAN OVERBOARD!

These words have long been used by sailors when waging life-and-death battles against the sea. From the early perils of exploration to modern-day sailing exploits, the true-life stories in VOICES FROM THE SEA provide grippig accounts of the world's most intrepid adventureres, including:

• Canadian-American Joshua Slocum, who survived a shipwreck, mutiny, and disease long before he became the first man to sail around the world single-handed
• Raphaela le Gouvello, who traversed miles across the Indian Ocean alone and unsupported on a windsurfer in 2003
• Alain Bombard, who crossed the Atlantic in an inflatable dinghy in 1952 without food or water - surviving only on nutrients he snatched from the sea
• From the first page to the last, VOICES FROM THE SEA will keep sailors and landlubbers alike fixed to their seats with riveting personal accounts of savage storms, dangerous rescues, and life-threatening shipwrecks
