Items related to Cape Horn: The Logical Route
This is the story of Bernard and Francoise Moitessier's honeymoon voyage from Europe to the islands of the Pacific and back by way of Cape Horn. Setting out from Tahiti, they took the logical route" because it was the fastest, taking them through the Roaring Forties, through the high latitudes of never ceasing gale-force winds and through iceberg territory. Their survival was due to careful preparation, great seamanship and their sense of harmony with their boat, "Joshua", and the sea."

Review:
'This is a book about mystical communion, with a boat, with the water and the weather, with the creatures of the sea... I'd sooner read Moitessier than any other nautical writer alive' Jonathan Raban
