ABOUT THE BOOK
Travel far and wide with an Indian sailor and his endless love for the sea!
Imagine an infinite blue ocean and somewhere in the middle of it, tossed by
wind and wave-a single boat. In it a solitary sailor. This is the gritty, glorious
and true adventure of Commander Abhilash Tomy, a former officer of the
Indian Navy, who in 2012 set off on the journey of a lifetime. Without once
stopping by land, he circumnavigated the world alone for 151 days,
encountering deathly perils on choppy waters! No other Indian had sailed like
this before. When he finally returned to India, Abhilash was awarded the Kirti
Chakra for his heroism. Dive right into this rousing tale of a real-life hero
whose ambition, courage, and determination to circle the world on his little
boat, will fire up your imagination. And as you travel with Abhilash across the
ocean, learn about famous ships and sailors, legends and maps, winds and
currents, and a score and more fascinating stories about our world of water.
