This book is the chronicle of W.A. Robinson setting off on his 32 footer ‘Svaap’ from Panama, then taking two years to circumnavigate the world, during the interwar years.Â
It is a wonderfully written and diligent account, by a sailor who, although initially advertising himself as ‘not a writer’, goes on to produce the most wonderfully vivid and heartfelt story, that even now, a hundred years later, still stirs the soul to adventures beyond the West horizon.
