  • Sea Change – Alone Across the Atlantic – Peter Nichols

    Sea Change – Alone Across the Atlantic – Peter Nichols

    Published by Viking a first edition 1997. Octavo, 238 pages. Very good if not fine condition. An entertaining and informative read.

    A different sailing book. There are no pictures or maps here. Maybe therefore it is not surprising that the writing I special. Peter Nichols has sailed with his wife. Sadly, they separated after a west to east Atlantic crossing. This book reflects on his single-handed return voyage in the 27-foot engineless “Toad” which had a habit of springing leaks.

    Interspersed throughout are references to classic sailing accounts … Chichester, Blyth, Moitessier, Knox-Johnston, Ridgway et al.

    Interesting for an experienced maritime reader most useful of an introductee.

    Nichols a personal challenge – knowledgeable author.

    Includes important material read by Markham at the evening meeting of the Society, February 25th, 1884. Of interest is the attendance and contribution to discussion of Admiral Moresby who appears rather miffed that Markham set the record straight regarding the discovery of Port Moresby.

    The whole enhaced by appendices. First, a chronological account of the events and individuals most associated with the early discoveries of New Guinea. Second, and quite special in its depth, a 40 page bibliography of New Guinea prepared by E. C. Rye, then Librarian of the Royal Geographic Society, from Henry Adams to Justo Zaragoza and every individual and publication in between.
