Autoren-Porträt von Gregory Newell Smith
GREGORY NEWELL SMITH, from the Pacific Northwest, is a seasoned ocean sailor and delivery captain with over 50,000 miles of blue-water experience, ranging from the coast of Alaska to the Cape of Good Hope, including a fifty-three day, 6000 mile solo passage from Panama to Hawaii. In The Solitude of the Open Sea, he draws upon his three-plus years of offshore sailing aboard his thirty-nine foot Fast Passage cutter, Atlantean, to explore the importance of broadening our horizons beyond the known and commonplace, freeing ourselves from cultural self-centeredness, and achieving self-discovery through perseverance, hardship, and solitude. The themes of the book's seventeen narrative essays are not unique to sailing, but rather are intended for a general audience of reflective readers who value travel and the insights it provides in helping us understand our place in the world around us.
