In June 1962 Francis Chichester set out from Plymouth once again to cross the Atlantic single-handed in his 13-ton yacht, Gipsy Moth III, in an attempt to beat the 40-day record he set up himself in 1960. He succeeded, and knocked nearly a week off his previous time. Chichester also made history on his voyage by keeping in daily contact with Britain by means of a small battery-operated radio-telephone which enabled The Guardian, the sponsors of the voyage, to publish daily extracts from his log. Edited by The Guardianâe(tm)s Yachting Editor, J. R. L. Anderson, this book, Chichesterâe(tm)s own day-by-day narrative of that adventurous journey, threatened by gales, icebergs and fog, is the drama of one man fighting his way alone across the North Atlantic. It is one of the great stories of the sea. âe~a magnificent achievementâe(tm) Guardian âe~hard to put downâe(tm) Times Literary Supplement âe~good-natured, informal and totally unpretentious bookâe(tm) Observer
