Voices from the Sea by Nic Compton

The subtitle ? Remarkable Encounters with the World?s Oceans ? should perhaps be rewritten as inspiring encounters and adventures on the world?s oceans as this is the scope of this lovely book. The book is a testament to man?s enthusiasm to get out and express their desire for the freedom, adventure and love of the sea respecting the danger that it sometimes offers. It is as much about individuals? strength of will when faced with adversity as the voyages themselves. Well written and illustrated by some thrilling original images this series of 29 tales span the world?s oceans from 1886 to the current day. The book covers Joshua Slocum?s first adventure to Fridtjof Nansen?s voyage to the Arctic to many of the last 10 years significant racing adventures from Pete Goss? epic Vendee Globe to Hugo Boss/Ecover?s mutual competition and rescue. Each story is fascinating and the author tells them well. catching the humour, drama and danger of events. The book is well produced and the images really support the individual stories.
