The breath of angels

This book relates the author's attempt, as a novice sailor, to circumnavigate the world in his yacht Warrior Queen. He set out in September 1992 and encountered many problems including bad weather and problems with his crew, who were an ever-changing group of volunteers. When he reached the Canary Islands he was forced to abandon his plan to complete a full circumnavigation, but decided to undertake a transatlantic passage alone. The book describes the voyage and its many problems in detail. There are colour photographs, a sail plan of the Warrior Queen and a plan of her layout.
