You've probably never heard of Peter Nichols, nor or Donald Krowhurst, the infamous sailor who simply walked off the stern of his vessell in the midst of his solo sail around the globe, leaving behind only his journal. The author/narrator, Mr. Nichols, knows his name and decides to pick up where Krowhurst left off. After a difficult divorce from his French wife, Nichols decides to sail his 28-foot schooner, Toad, across the Atlantic from England to his family's home in New England. Alone. Think about that: 3,000-some odd miles of ocean separates this man from safety, warmth, fresh food, civilization. Never sleeping more than 15 minutes at a stretch, Nichols sets off for the New World armed only with his instruments, his wits, and the one godsend his forebears did NOT have: a radio. During the voyage, he finds his ex-wife's diary, which provides him a whole different perspective on his dissolve marriage: she was unhappy almost from the beginning and he finds that the times when he felt the most insecure about their relationship were often her best days. Eventually, Toad springs a leak, which becomes worse and...I will say no more, but to leave you to wonder what YOU would do if you were in mid-ocean when your home, your safety, suddenly threatens to come undone. Mr. Nichols is a natural wordsmith, a born storyteller, and master at delving deep into human emotions, expounding frankly about regret, loss, lonliness and, ultimately, the power of self-determination. This is equally a tome about relationships as it is about sailing as his trips inside his wife's diary remind us once again how much we can learn about ourselves and our relationships by simply seeing it all from the eyes of another.
