Sailing Alone Around the World, by Captain Joshua Slocum, Part 4

Jun 1, 2026

Let’s sail to sleep with the first read of our new theme month, Travels! This time, we return to an epic journey around the world in a handmade boat, and wrestle with Cape Horn, seasickness, and williwaws. Also, the benefits of carpet tacks and the kindness of strangers. Useful!
