Here is a magnificent book to match a magnificent venture -- Sir Francis Chichester's personal account of the extraordinary feat that captured the imagination of the world. Told in his own colorful words and illustrated with his own photographs, some taken by remote control of himselfd in action, the book literally takes the reader aboard the Gipsy Moth IV throughout the entire fabulous voyage. "Sir Francis Chichester has managed to reawaken the world to one man's capacity to seek and to endure," says Time magazine. "He has served men by living their dreams of acting with tenacity and courage under pressure. And in this he has become a genuine hero -- perhaps the greatest of the adventurers of his time."
