  1. 1. Auf Unmoglichem Kurs

    A gripping, first-person account of a solo long-distance ocean voyage into the high-latitude Southern Ocean, where the sailor confronts ferocious storms, equipment failure and profound isolation; equal parts technical seamanship and lyrical observation, the narrative traces the physical struggles to keep a tiny boat afloat and the inner resilience and reflection that carry the narrator through extreme danger, loneliness and the fierce beauty of the sea.
