From the author of Journey to the Ragged Islands, The Gold Box, Chasing the Nomadic Dream, and Sailing to Newfoundland A story of overcoming adversity and chasing a dreamA blueprint for making the change from landlubber to ocean sailor The story is told beginning with the vision and desire to sail on the ocean, through the training and education, buying a boat, gaining experience, and finally embarking on a 1000-nautical-mile journey to bring the boat home, singlehanded. An immersive nonfiction adventure story, Becoming a Sailor captures the scene as one would experience it. Becoming a Sailor also goes into technical detail about the repairs and additions to Sobrius, a 1972 Dufour Arpege, as well as the techniques the author had to learn in order to sail singlehanded on multi-day passages. The narrative moves back and forth in time, from the author's adventures leading up to the purchase of Sobrius to the final journey, singlehanded, from Tampa Bay to The Dry Tortugas, then Miami, and finally to St Augustine. All the unknowns of the author's first singlehanded voyage lead to a fascinating experience which is shared with vivid description of both scene and mind in this gripping tale of adventure at sea. This book was 100% written by a human (Paul Trammell) without the help of Artificial Intelligence.

"one of the best cruising accounts I have read in a long time." John Kretschmer A compelling adventure to one of the few places in the world where raw unspoiled nature meets the ocean, from the author of Becoming a Sailor, Journey to the Ragged Islands, and Chasing the Nomadic Dream. "Sailing to Newfoundland" is one of the best cruising accounts I have read in a long time. Paul Trammell's latest book, describing his single-handed sail from Florida to Newfoundland, is a wise, inspiring tale that reminds me of Rockwell Kent's classic, "N by E." Trammell writes like he lives and sails, with keen attention to detail, a profound respect for nature, deep humility and, best of all, with an almost childlike sense of awe. He never fails to embrace the majesty of this dramatic coast as he pilots his 40' cutter "Windflower" into one stunning anchorage after another, not a small task for a single-hander. He sets off on hikes and climbs the rugged edges, determined to find a secret trout pond or just a glimpse of his boat from a higher perspective. Through the course of the book Newfoundland changes from a dreamy destination, to a forbidding land of rock and fog, to a challenging but enchanted cruising ground with some of, in Trammell's words, "the nicest people in the world."
