This author has lived a most remarkable life of public life and adventure. Swimming the mouth of Manilla Bay after escaping from the Japanese for the second time only to be captured again is the subject of an earlier book that caused me to get and read Ciline ll his latest about his very late in life solo sailing trip around the world in a 30 ft boat. The trials and problems, many life threatening,and his ability to forge ahead made this book an intresting read. I could not put it down once in got to the middle of the book. Jim Graham,
