Three years after his wife’s death, Peter Bourke bought a boat–even though he had never learned to sail. In 2009, Peter entered the Oldest Singlehanded Trans-Atlantic Race at age 58.
Sea Trials is the account of those 40 days of racing on his 44-foot sailboat Rubicon.
Told with grace, insight, and humility, the book bares both the boredom and adventure of racing solo and provides insights to the value of going to sea and undoubtedly you will be inspired to take a big–but satisfying–risk of your own to fulfill your lifelong dream, whether it’s on the big blue or dry land.
