Description
The Long Way is a gripping account of Bernard Moitessier's incredible journey in the first Golden Globe Race, a solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe. For seven months, Moitessier battled severe storms, equipment failures, and physical exhaustion, pushing his endurance to the limit.
After pulling out of the race, Moitessier continued sailing for another three months, driven by a desire to complete his journey. His remarkable 37,455-mile voyage took him to the island of Tahiti, where he finally set foot on land, bringing an end to his epic adventure.
