Embracing retirement with a vengeance, Reese Palley, a former art dealer, sailed away in his boat "Unlikely" and circled the globe. In so doing he created his own universe, and his unique sailing philosophy, which he describes in this book through a series of anecdotes and insightful observations.

"Unlikely Passages is bound to shock a few, bound to infuriate some more and bound to get noticed. Palley and his book are an event. But if you love to cruise and have enjoyed reading raunchy writers like Henry Miller and Erica Jong, then Unlikely Passages is for you. It's never boring and more often than not it's fun."
"An exhilarating sailing voyage through a manic free-thinker's Technicolor mind, Unlikely Passages is funny, profane, liberating, ribald, inspirational . . . and full of truth about the sailing life."
Reese Palley is a gifted writer and an accomplished offshore sailor. In his sixties and seventies he made three transatlantic crossings and a circumnavigation of the world in his 46-foot sailboat, "Unlikely VII". His previous sailing books include "There Be No Dragons", "Unlikely Passages", and "Unlikely People".
