Allein zwischen Himmel und Meer: Meine 80 Tage beim härtesten Segelrennen der Welt
by Boris Herrmann, Andreas Wolfers
Finished: January 3, 2025
Interesting account of Boris Herrmann on his first attendance of the Vendée Globe in 2020, a single-handed nonstop unassisted round the world yacht race. The race typically takes longer than 70 days. It’s mind-boggling how he organizes his sleep patterns, how he keeps himself entertained, and how he deals with loneliness and the inavitable damages to his yacht. He also talks about his search for Kevin Escoffier who had to abandon his sinking yacht, and how the race turned into a rescue mission.
