Sailing with Strangers was a terrific read- the reader gets to experience the highs and lows of sailing around South America on a 46 foot boat. You definitely feel like you have been part of the journey when you finish the book. A must read for all sailors and dreamers!

5.0 out of 5 stars A skillfully documented nautical voyage and a personal search for understanding, December 9, 2005

This review is from: Sailing with Strangers (Paperback)

Sailing with Strangers is the true memoir of experienced sailor and fly fisherman Charley Hester who joined forces with five people he never previously met aboard a forty-six-foot sailboat for a six-month, 15,000 mile voyage around South America, en route the Panama Canal, the Galapagos, Easter Island, Cape Horn, and the Falkland Islands. Their experience was one of excitement and fear, battling equipment failures, interpersonal conflicts, the hazards of the ocean, and a near-tragedy rounding Cape Horn. A personal search for will and greater self-understanding against the challenges of the world, and the quest to fulfill an extraordinary dream, Sailing with Strangers is both a skillfully documented nautical voyage and a personal search for understanding. Highly recommended.
