Joshua Slocum
Having lost his fortune in the shipwreck, Slocum began his adventure nearly penniless. He was given the Spray, a century old oyster boat that "wants some repairs". Two years and $500 later he had rebuilt the wreck into an oceangoing wonder.
On his 40,000 mile, three year voyage, Slocum visited six of the seven continents where he met cannibals, presidents, outlaws, and ambassadors. Amazingly, throughout he lived 'off the land' as it were, fishing, trading, and giving lectures to keep his pantry full. He also met some remarkable people including Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson and Paul Kruger, who, believing the world was flat, warned Slocum not to fall off! This adventure will captivate sailors and landlubbers alike.

And now to the print version of the tale, I can add the fantastic narrated version by Alan Sklar as worthy of the tale. Fantastic and so lively, it held my interest for the two days it took to hear it all.
Totally recommend this title to your listening. An adventure described by a modest and capable sailor, brought to life by a great voice.
