Download Bound for Distant Seas: A Voyage Alone to Asia Aboard the 28-Foot Sailboat Atom AudioBook Free
Bound for Distant Seas commences sailing author Adam Baldwin's epic tale of his second circumnavigation. His history is seasoned by his escapades during his first circumnavigation in 1984-86 as advised in Across Islands and Oceans. By themselves with little money aboard Atom, his now-engineless 28-feet sailboat, James embarks on his odyssey without the comforts and equipment most sailors consider essential. Challenging himself to reside as carefully with the sea as possible, the writer sets sail in 1987 from Florida, bound for new escapades on the faraway shores of Asia. He will not come back home again for 15 years. With this paean to the sea and foreign lands, the writer recounts the best and worst of life on the sea, trips to far-flung islands, and escapades amid throngs of mankind in some of the world's most densely populated cities. This unvarnished physical and philosophical saga includes encounters with dead-eyed bureaucrats, indigenous angels of mercy, newly learned WWII wreckage, fellow expat adventurers, rogues and misfits. The journey can take many unplanned converts as the writer encounters near misses with lurking potential issues, hikes across islands, locates temporary employment ashore, and immerses himself in foreign cultures. Along the way he is tested by sea and population, and he ultimately discovers the priceless treasures of center and mind that he looks for. James invites you to definitely come aboard Atom for the trip of an eternity.
