Nautical Book Club: The Long Way

Join us to meet and discuss “The Long Way”, by Bernard Moitessier, on Tuesday, February 11th at 5:30 at the Resident's Lounge at the Ritz Carlton Baltimore.

The Long Way is Bernard Moitessier's own incredible story of his participation in the first Golden Globe Race, a solo, non-stop circumnavigation rounding the three great Capes of Good Hope, Leeuwin, and the Horn. For seven months, the veteran seafarer battled storms, doldrums, gear-failures, knock-downs, as well as overwhelming fatigue and loneliness. Then, nearing the finish, Moitessier pulled out of the race and sailed on for another three months before ending his 37,455-mile journey in Tahiti. Not once had he touched land.
