"Recounts the voyage of a California sixteen-year-old who spent nearly five years sailing alone around the world… Recommend it for all ages, but give it to your kids to show them there is adventure out in the world rather then the I-phones..." [from a private review]

"At the age of sixteen, he set out to cross the Pacific in his 24-foot sloop, alone except of two kittens. He returned five years and 33,000 miles later. In the years in between, he had circled the earth, battled tropical storms, and endured mind-numbling doldrums… Above all, he had wrestled with loneliness and near-despair. But Robin, the boy, survived the treachery of the seas, and in winning his victory over elements returned home a man." [from the back cover]
