Casting Off
Joshua Slocum
Sun, sea and gorgeous sailors – the route
to happiness, surely? After an early-midlife-crisis, Emma leaves her highly stressed,
fast-paced life as a journalist on the
Independent for a sailing adventure and
finds that it is possible to find fulfillment –
and love – on your own terms.
Emma Bamford
Joshua Slocum’s epic solo voyage around
the world in 1895 in the 37 foot sloop
Spray stands as one of the greatest sea
adventures of all time. It remains one of the
major feats of single handed voyaging, and
has since been the inspiration for the many
who have gone to sea in small boats.
