À propos de cet audio
Bloomsbury presents Sailing to the Edge of Time by John Kretschmer, read by Matthew Kevin Anderson.
John Kretschmer is sailing’s practical philosopher – as much a doer as a thinker. And that is the overarching theme of this chronicle of a sailing life. Often amusing, sometimes poignant, occasionally terrifying but always inspiring, his deeply personal account is a welcome reminder of the good life waiting at sea.
With hundreds of thousands of nautical miles under his keel, John’s adventures have taken him several times around the world, with challenging crossings of the Atlantic and the Pacific, a narrow escape from a coup in Yemen, an unlikely deliverance from a coral reef off Belize as well as more serene, introspective passages where trade winds are blowing and stories are flowing. His crew has included CEOs, actors, writers, teachers, kids – in essence, everyone.
John’s narrative is interwoven with practical tips and advice in seamanship, but also, and just as importantly, his hard-won insights about making the most of our lives. He truly believes we find out who we really are, and what we are capable of, far from the shackles of land, when we find a place where time changes shape – days may merge into one another, but minutes are memorable.
To live adventurously is to live more fully, and that is the life John Kretschmer continues to live. In this book he shares his simple profundities that will inspire those who live to sail, and those seeking something more rewarding from life.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"A remarkable and very enjoyable cocktail of blue water, action and wisdom. Kretschmer is a fine writer and an inspiration." (Tristan Gooley)

Is you love sailing, you love Kretschmer
Once again he has delivered a book full easily digestible knowledge delivered as a conversational story teller. I always feel like I’m sitting at anchor listening to an old friend tell you stories over a rum while I have his books on. We can’t all join a heavy weather training passage aboard Quetzal, but we can still have John as a friend and mentor as we go about land life.
Definitely recommend.

Awesome story, boring narrator
Love Kretschmer’s stories and writing. We’ve listened to a few of his stories. But this narrator is so boring, the others are better.

Excellent storey, reader good but amusing pronunciations
One of the best sailing books that I’ve listened to (and I’ve purchased a hard copy for reference). The reader does a good job but is clearly not a sailor. Strange pronunciations of common sailing terms lake starboard (reader says “star-bored” when he should say “starburd”). Lots of place names mispronounced too.
