Summary: excellent read
Review: This is an very well written book; although I've never sailed
and am female, I was really drawn in by the descriptions of the
rhythms of life on an ocean voyage and the storms - emotional
and atmospheric. Honesty and candor allowed me to feel
connected to the participants in this adventure.

Summary: --
Review: William Storandt wanted to sail across the Atlantic. And he was afraid he wanted to love a man. In this sometimes harrowing story of the ocean and the heart, Storandt tells us how he finally managed both. His journeys take him from Julliard to a hippie dome in the Vermont woods to a 30-foot sloop in a life-threatening gale off the coast of Ireland. His parallel course leads him from a youthful marriage to a live-in girlfriend to his first gay bar. And then to Brian Forsyth, a Scottish-born pediatrian at Yale. Storandt's clean prose and eye for fine Homeric detail make for an exciting yarn about an unusual life. You won't have to be gay or nautical to enjoy it.
