Ebook: Philosophy of Sailing: Offshore in Search of the Universe

 "Christian Williams is a genius sailor, observer and writer."

—Bob Woodward,

 The Washington Post

A Master Storyteller

"Something is out there that doesn't have a name," writes veteran sailor and writer Christian Williams as he invites us along once again on a 5,000-mile voyage of discovery around the North Pacific. Equipped with a new boat, a well-stocked toolbox and the entire history of philosophic thought, he takes us as crew through squalls and calms deep into a laboratory of the universe that exists only out of sight of land. Funny, erudite and at times deeply personal, "Philosophy of Sailing" explores who we are and how encounters with the unknown can be a path to revelation and joy. With 20,000 miles at sea, Williams is also a master teacher of how to sail a boat across perilous oceans and the renovation of yacht and outlook required before departing on the voyage of a lifetime.

With 40 illustrations, restoration guide, toolbox of books and glossary of nautical terms.
