Guernsey Insight Compact Guide (Insight Compact Guides)

Racing the Ice to Cape Horn

Frank Guernsey lived through this tale of his record setting journey, sailing single-handed from Southern California, around Cape Horn to Uruguay, in a twenty-four foot engineless sailboat. Cy Zoerner put this harrowing adventure into words as no other author could.

As Frank revealed the story to Cy he began to wonder, as would we all, what could drive a man to commit to an outrageously dangerous undertaking in such a small craft. After endless hours discussing life and love with Frank, Cy understood and a story, like no other, poured forth.

This will be the best sailing adventure you will ever read and quite possibly the best book you will read for years to come. The greatest fiction can not match the adventures and life of Frank Guernsey.

"Humans!"

The handle of my precious watermaker stopped in my hands. My eyes strained at the black speck on the gray, watery horizon. The misery from the open saltwater sores I sat on, winked out. As I switched on my video recorder, my only companion since I set sail, I repeated, "Humans? After all these months alone..." I glanced at my watch. It was January 2, 1000 hours.

Michelin the Green Guide Normandy: Channel Islands (Michelin Green Guides)

This Green Guide is your indispensable reference for discovering the attractions of Normandy. Behind the long sandy beaches, the great sand dunes and the rocky bays and cliffs of the Normandy coast lie the lush pastures grazed by dairy cattle, trim stud farms, cider apple orchards, green valleys and wooded hills. Low timber-framed farm houses with thatched roofs contrast with castle battlements, monastic ruins and soaring cathedral spires. Monuments, museums and heritage trails record the great events of history from the invasions of the Northmen in 800 to the Normady landings in 1944.
