Quote:

Joshua Slocum was a Canadian-American seaman and adventurer, a noted writer, and the first man to sail single-handedly around the world. In 1900 he told the story of this in Sailing Alone Around the World. He disappeared in November 1909 while aboard his boat, the Spray.

Yes, I found about this book while reading "Em Busca Do Sonho" ("In search of a dream", in portuguese) by Heloisa Schurmann, another interesting book.
In PG there's a previous book by Slocum, "Voyage of the Liberdade", that is also worth a look.

Thank you for preparing and uploading this book. I first read it as a child, perhaps 60 years ago, and am enjoying it immensely.

I also appreciate the fine work you have done in preparing the book and its illustrations. When I get the time I'm going to open up the ePub and see what I can learn from it.

Regards, Alex

You're welcome!!! I'm glad you liked it.
If you look inside the book you will see a couple of tricks, all of them learnt from the masters here at MR.
I haven't found the time to read it myself yet, if you find any typos please let me know.
