About this listen

“2500 nautical miles to go, plenty of time to tell the story,” says Christian Williams as he begins his inspiring and entertaining tale of evolution from a distracted schoolboy to Washington Post journalist, Hollywood writer-producer and long-distance singlehanded sailor with more than 10 million views on YouTube.

With an infectious curiosity that ranges from bilge pump mechanics to issues of philosophy of identity, the author never flags in his quest to learn what makes every life distinctive and yet defined by its intersection with others. Paralleling his two careers are loving evocations of the 20 boats Williams says sustained him through success, upheaval, clinical depression and a worrisome medical diagnosis.

The storytelling is honest and full of life. Sailboats and voyages are episodic like life itself. Brilliantly conveyed, Thank you, Christian as a fellow sailer and human.

Honest, real and down to earth
