FIRECREST AUF ATLANTIKREISE / Clemens Richter

The story of a sailing cruise of the very special kind.
The author and his girlfriend attempt to try to cross the Atlantic Ocean in the traditional gaff cutter FIRECREST without any of todays electronic tools, in particular by relying completely and unconditionally on their boat and the sea - on a journey of deliberate slowness.

On this side and the other side of the foaming easterlies they discover fantastic shores, experience friendships, extravagant and weird characters and wild encounters.
In the endless calms of the Sargasso Sea they find deep indulgence in the maritime life and in the grey storms of the bay of Biscay and the North Atlantic they get into situations that turn into major challenges.
Beautifully and lovingly made book.

456 pages, many drawings, colour pictures and a chart, bound.
