more interesting than I expected! It alternates between father and son journal-type entries. I preferred the son's entries - they were less about sailing and more about twentysomething angst. But both talk about the father-son relationship quite a bit and that was fascinating for me as a female to read. So different from Mom/daughter relationship. It was also very eye-opening to understand how much work is required for such a journey. Highly recommend for sailors; recommend to most others as well.
