Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good dj. First Edition. [nice clean book, minimal shelfwear; the jacket has a number of tiny nicks/tears along the top and bottom edges, with a bit of associated creasing]. (B&W photographs, endpaper maps) The seagoing adventures of the Argentine author and his three-man crew, who sailed on their boat (The Gaucho) "from Buenos Aires to Africa, through the Mediterranean to Suez and back to Gilbraltar again. Then she took off from Cadiz to retrace the first voyage of Columbus to San Salvador. From there she made her way, with occasional stops, to New York. After a brief stay she sailed down to the Caribbean and out along the Windward Isles round the great bulge of Brazil. Thence she made her way homeward to Buenos Aires again. At every port her carefree crew attracted bizarre adventures that would have confounded the stamina of less hardy mariners for whom the voyage alone, in such a small craft, would have been adventure enough.".
