The true account of the 2017-2018 solo nonstop circumnavigation by Jerome Rand aboard the Westsail 32 Mighty Sparrow. A testament to endurance and adventure, this memoir recounts what life is like aboard a small sailboat during a 271-day voyage around the globe, alone, and without stopping. One of the greatest challenges of both body and mind, the author will take you onboard during the good times and the bad. As one of only a handful of people to have ever succeed in such a small boat, this story is truly the adventure of a lifetime.

As a fellow adventurer (though not sailer), I really enjoyed the story. The author did a fantastic job narrating. My only critique is I wished to story was told in chronological order as it was hard to follow. All in all glad I bought the book.

Loved the book

The narration is very exaggerated or exclamative at times. I either got used to it, or it settled midway through. Stick with it! I thoroughly enjoyed the story. The honesty and detail were great, and I didn't want it to end.

Great sailing story with satisfying detail.
