Highly recommended
I have no doubt that global blue water cruising had increased in popularity as a result of Graham's voyage and his subsequent book that reads like a classic coming of age novel. After all these years, and having read nearly all the other books written by globe trotting sailors, a spark of nostalgia for those days in the early '70s inspired me to read it again. I'm really glad I did, because this one stands out among all the others. Not because it was one of the first of its kind, but because Graham made it personal. His account was of a boy coming of age during an extraordinary adventure in both idyllic and life threatening situations - all before the age of GPS and real time communications.
If you're a fan of coming of age literature or have an itch for armchair travel, this story will do more for you than satisfy the itch. It will inspire you to get out there and test yourself and perhaps discover true happiness.

This book kept me sane. It reminded me of the things I did when I was 16/17, travelling, meeting people of different cultures and customs. It reminded me that although most of us get caught up in “doing the right thing” there are some who never give up and continue use to live the dream.
To say this is inspirational would be to belittle the reasons why Robin sailed around the world. Even he couldn’t express the real reasons, but it is a compulsion. Something you have to do. Safety, responsible behaviour, should do, shouldn’t do, all becomes irrelevant. Yes there’s a price to pay, but it comes down to what you are willing to pay, because the piper will always need to be paid in the end.
This book definitely made me yearn back to my late teens and early 20s in a way that no other book has and brought back some fond memories. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me.
こうして始まった ヨットでの世界巡りの計画、 ヨットを準備するまでの父親との時間。 そして旅立ち。
16歳の子供を 命を落とすかもしれないことにのほほんと挑戦させる無責任な親と非難され。
でも親は 子供が自分の計画に旅立てると判断したなら、それを信じて子供を旅立たせないとならないときもある。 もし我が子を信じてなかったら 我が子に危険な旅などさせなかっただろう。 子供は ゆっくりと親という港から 自分の人生という大海原に 帆を張り滑り出して行き、 その荒海の航海には 旅立った(親)港のことを振り返る余裕も残さない。 生物はこうして 親から生まれ 成長し そして 親から離れていく。 この過程を いろんな角度から表現していると思える作品です。
生物が生まれ 成長し そして伴侶を見つけ さらに家族を作る。 そして 自分もまた親になり、生活の糧をさがし 家を作り
この生物の生活史を 海から陸へと描いています。
Home is the sailor, sailor from the sea,
そして、 海から山に生活場所を変えれば 夕暮れ時 家の前で心配そうに山を見上げる家族のもとへ
お父さんは山から獲物を抱えて 家族を養うため 山道を降りてくる。 そこで 物語は締めくくられています。
the hunter home from the hill.
