Summary

The true account of the 2017-2018 solo nonstop circumnavigation by Jerome Rand aboard the Westsail 32 Mighty Sparrow. A testament to endurance and adventure, this memoir recounts what life is like aboard a small sailboat during a 271-day voyage around the globe, alone, and without stopping. One of the greatest challenges of both body and mind, the author will take you onboard during the good times and the bad. As one of only a handful of people to have ever succeed in such a small boat, this story is truly the adventure of a lifetime.

I was first introduced to Jerome from Oliver (Sailing with Phoenix). I struggle to sit down and read actual books and im grateful for this as listening to Jerome personally recount his tales of an epic journey, whilst I go about my life as a 41 Yr old mum of 3, commuting between Chester and Liverpool in NW England and walking my dog, I have been transported on the journey with Jerome. I have spoken about this journey to anyone who will listen and as Jerome finished narrating his story on a beautiful spring morning whilst walking my dog, never did I think id get so emotional with happiness for Jerome and the Mighty Sparrow. Thanks Jerome for allowing us the opportunity to experience your journey through your words, a story I wont forget x

I found this story quite frustrating and timeline hard to follow as the author jumped back and forth throughout the book. The naration was very American and over the top which made it hard to take him seriously. That said he did complete a solo voyage around the world which is very impressive.

Frustrating
