This is the thrilling story of Chichester's attempt to make the fastest crossing of the Atlantic from Bissau, Portuguese Guinea to San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua-4,000 miles in 20 days. He was 69 when he made this voyage in Gypsy Moth V, and both men and boat were tested to the limits of their endurance.
