Very interesting story of Captain Joshua Slocum's solo voyage circumnavigating the earth from 1895-1898. I learned a bit about sailing, a lot about people in various ports and islands, and something about Slocum himself. What ingenuity, courage, and tenacity he had, but Slocum is almost nonchalant about his feat. The terminology is quaint and unfamiliar, as it is a first-hand account, but it was a charming read.
