Synopsis:

Nicolette Milnes Walker set herself to be the first woman to sail across the Atlantic non-stop and alone. She was 28, an industrial psychologist assessing people’s reactions in high pressure situations. Now it was time to test herself. That was 1971. Nicolette achieved her objective and enjoyed a moment of celebrity. Then she moved on. Here she describes her life-changing experience and the young girl she was then. Her clear thinking, practical ability and cool courage are timeless, as are her style and charm. “Nicolette Milnes Walker’s solo and non-stop crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was an incredible achievement, yet many sailors barely know her name.” Katy Stickland, editor of Practical Boat Owner magazine “For anyone interested in what it is that pushes individuals out of the pack, When I Put Out to Sea makes compulsive reading.” John Ridgway, Daily Telegraph
