Atlantic High
By: Buckley, William F., Jr.
Published by: RosettaBooks

Ostensibly the tale of his 1980 voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic High is William F. Buckley's extended meditation on the pleasures of sailing and good company. Not surprisingly, as much thought seems to have gone into stocking the wine cellar as to charting out the route. Kon-Tiki, this is not, but nor is it meant to be.

Neil Hanson, author of The Custom of the Sea - 'It was the last and greatest yacht race of a gilded age: the emperor of Germany, two British lords, and eight American billionaires racing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to win a solid-gold trophy cup.' more...
