About the book:

'How could I have known that our first trial sail on an icy November afternoon would lead to nine years living aboard a small, wooden sailing boat? Or that I would survive a 55 knot mid-Atlantic storm, 36 hour bouts of sea-sickness and hour after tedious hour at the helm gazing at horizons of empty sea. My new life left me miles from my home and family, encountering a crack cocaine addict, an east end of London minder and a circus snake act. At times I wept from exhaustion and cold, at others marveled at a magnificent tropical sunset or the enormity of an ocean. Living aboard Fram might have been testing, frightening and exhilarating - but it was never mundane. The book includes sketch plans of the routes we sailed, coloured photographs and a glossary of sailing terms to help non-sailors.
