Description for The Voyage of the Cormorant: A Memoir of the Changeable Sea
Paperback. Illustrator(s): Perkins, Ken. Num Pages: 324 pages. BIC Classification: WSSN3. Dimension: 213 x 149. .
Christian Beamish, a former editor at The Surfer's Journal, envisioned a low-tech, self-reliant exploration for surf along the coast of North America, using primarily clothes and instruments available to his ancestors, and the 18-foot boat he would build by hand in his garage. How the vision met reality - and how the two came to shape each other - places The Voyage of the Cormorant in the great American tradition of tales of life at sea, and what it has to teach us.
