The Long Voyage Home

An Autobiography with 20 Sailboats

De: Christian Williams

Narrado por: Christian Williams

“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.

A life well lived.

For a fellow sailor and someone familiar with Mr. Williams work, a most enjoyable book.

A life well lived.

Christian takes you along through his long lifes ups and downs. Never a dull moment. Thanks for the books. I hope this isn't the last.

The entire book!! Christian is an amazing writer!!!

LOVED THIS!! His ability to paint a picture in your imagination is incredible. Look Christian up on YouTube. He has some amazing sailing videos

A great voyage

I’m thoroughly enjoying it - actually savoring it. I’ve been a huge fan since vicariously sailing along with Christian in Alone Together. As a sailor I enjoy the technical sailing aspects, as a reader I enjoy the adventures, as a listener I enjoy the narration. All are excellent.

Sit back, put some Monk on in the background, and join in. You will be warmly welcomed.

Like all his other books I look forward to multiple rereads. Highly recommended!

capturing as usual...

A confidant I have never met, who has lead an incredible life with such a kind introspection. listening to his words on sailing and life has become a guilty pleasure. Maybe owning a sailboat isn't completely crazy.
