Customer Reviews

Great story

Not only an excellent sailing story, but a great adventure story and an interesting psychological perspective on long periods of solitude and self-examination.

Adventuure for the desk bound

Dodge speaks well of the sea and the solitude it can create as he circumnavigates the oceans. His log maintains an even keel inspite of the turmoil at sea. For the uninitiated, American Promise is a strange setting for soul searching and learning to love. Well done Dodge.
