Many people go down to the sea in ships, but few write as movingly of the experience as Peter Nichols does in this enthralling meditation on the wonders of sailing, the mystery of the sea, and
the ebb and flow of love.With only a sextant, his instincts as a seasoned sailor, and a boat filled with memories of his floundering marriage, Nichols sets out alone from England headed toward
Maine, where he plans to sell his beloved, twenty-seven-foot, engineless boat, Toad. Halfway across the ocean, his boat springs a leak and his voyage becomes a desperate struggle to survive.
Filled with clear, luminous prose, Sea Change is a classic tale of a man struggling to come to terms with his reckless spirit, his highest hopes, and his broken dreams.
