Items related to My Old Man and the Sea: A Father and Son Sail Around...
A story of adventure on a small boat, for fathers, for sons, and for those who love them. On this voyage the father relinquishes control, the son becomes the captain, and before long they are utterly alone, with only the huge waves of Cape Horn, a compass, a sextant, a pet cat, and the tiny boat they've built together. "The account of the passage, related in alternating sections by father and son, will be read with delight 100 years from now."--William F. Buckley, The New York Times Book Review, front page; "A must read for sailors of the sea and of the heart."--Eco Traveler.

Review:
David and Daniel Hays, father and son, designed and built a small boat together, then set out to sail it around the tip of South America, a journey that David had dreamed of ever since childhood. Along the way they fought and swore and sweated and shared triumphs large and small.
From the Publisher:
The immensely popular adventure story of a father and son who travel to the bottom of the world and back in a boat that they built themselves. The huge wave of the Southern Ocean, the unceasing wind, a compass, a sextant and a pet cat keep each of the men company in this tale told by the two in alternating voices.
