The Long Way

Bernard Moitessier was in the lead and nearing the finish of the Golden Cup-a solo circumnavigation of the world-when he abandoned the race and set his course for a personal journey that would conclude three months later in Tahiti. Moitessier himself recounts the story of his personal quest in lyrical and though-provoking prose.
