#212 | The Venturesome Voyages of Captain Voss | Capt. J.C. Voss | Part 1

40,000Nm,  a circumnavigation of the world, completed double-handed, in a decked in, dug-out, red cedar canoe. The bare facts on the page already seem impossible.

There is only one sailor who holds a candle to Capt. Slocum, and that is Capt. Voss.

If you don't know who that is, don't worry, I didn't know either until I read this book. Now, I can't stop stop wondering how on earth he did what he did, and realizing once again, that modern sailing truly stands on the shoulders of giants.

I invite you to learn with me, the incredible story of one of the almost forgotten fathers of offshore sailing.
