A solo sailor explores the exhilarating and frightening world of the wide ocean Sailing on a boat by yourself out at sea and out of sight of land can be exhilarating or terrifying, compelling or tedious - sometimes it can be all of these things just in one morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an adventure at odds with our normal, sociable lives, carried out floating on a medium wholly inimical to our existence. But the deep ocean is also a remarkable place on which to think. Richard King's enormously engaging and curious new book is about the debt we owe to solo sailors: women and men, young and old, who have set out alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available from Whimsy and Wonder with New Zealand delivery or Christchurch pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891668746276,"sku":"B9781802063097","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2253\/5460\/files\/penguin-random-house-sailing-alone-richard-king-book.jpg?v=1785751793","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwonder.co.nz\/products\/sailing-alone-richard-king","provider":"Whimsy \u0026 Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
