Since I can't see any reference to it, yet...
Just finished this - A true story about a man, with no sailing experience, who buys a boat to get back from Central America to Australia at the end of WWII.
Style is flakey and awkward at times, but boy, what a story! One disaster after another. If it was fiction, it wouldn't be credible. Don't want to give too many details, as it will spoil the book.
Tried to order if off Amazon a while ago, but after a few weeks, they said they couldn't get a copy, and cancelled the order. I asked in WH Smiths (the High Street reading rooms) on the off-chance, and they got me a copy in 2 days!?
