Antidote for Mid Life Crises - By: Andy, 18 Nov 2007 
Well, it won't really solve your mid-life crisis, unless it inspires you to do something just as crazy. Her father must be one interesting guy, pushing his daughter into single-handing the world with so little sailing experience. She talks about him a lot, & his adventures sound like they're worth gathering up into book form.
I keep buying it for my friends. - By: , 08 Apr 1999 
The original edition, which included pictures of the voyage, was better. Even so, this is a fantastic & inspiring book about an incredible adventure. I first read it a year ago and, ever since, have been buying it for friendsin the hope that it will make as much difference to their outlook as it did to mine.
I agree with the rest, an excellent travel memoir. - By: , 28 Jan 1999 
Tania's unpretentious story is fun, inspirational, & nail-biting. It's nice to have an author open up the way Tania does about herself, her family, & relationships; strengths & fears.
