"Hal Roth does a damn good job writing about this incredible adventure. Just the thought of being alone at sea hundreds of miles from another soul invokes hairs that will spike on your neck. He seems like a "Salt of the Earth" type to me. The voyage is full of detail that puts you beside the sailor the whole time. Then he interjects often with soulfull philosophy with much Love for his wife and friends. Solitude and the ocean....Intoxicating!"
