Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "In Quest of the Sun" is a gripping first-hand account of one of the most remarkable maritime feats of the early 20th century. Written as a detailed journal, it follows Alain Gerbault as he embarks on a solo voyage around the world aboard his yacht, the "Firecrest". Following his historic crossing of the Atlantic, Gerbault continued his journey through the Panama Canal and across the vast, often treacherous expanses of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.This narrative captures the solitude, immense challenges, and breathtaking beauty of life at sea, documenting the technical hurdles of handling a cutter single-handedly alongside the diverse cultural encounters in remote island chains. As both a monumental sporting achievement and a philosophical exploration of personal freedom, "In Quest of the Sun" remains a cornerstone of nautical literature. Gerbault's evocative prose details the psychological and physical demands of the multi-year voyage, offering readers an intimate look at the grit and determination required to conquer the open ocean alone. This classic journal serves as a powerful testament to the spirit of exploration and the enduring lure of the sea.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
