Synopsis
A compelling account of adventure by Dan Hayes, who sailed 17,000 miles in a 25-foot sailboat, which included "rounding the Horn" at the tip of South America. Dan was joined by his father, and co-author, David for much of the trip. Their first-hand musings on sailing, life, relationships, confessions, and the sea substantiates Dan's claim that he was never once bored during the entire voyage.

Publisher's Note
Some fathers and sons go fishing together. Some play baseball. David and Daniel Hays decided to sail a tiny boat 17,000 miles to the bottom of the world and back. This is their story. David is romantic, excitable, and reflective; Daniel is wry, comic, and down-to-earth. Together their alternating voices weave a story of travel, of adventure, and of difficult, dangerous blue-water sailing. The Caribbean, the Panama Canal, the Galapagos Islands, Easter Island, Cape Horn, the Falklands - these far-flung places spring vividly to life in My Old Man and the Sea. Father and son don't always get along, though. Daniel has been an uneasy and uneven student. Now, just out of college, he's unsure what to do next. He sees his father growing older, slower, more forgetful. David is haunted by memories of his own father, of the things they never said to each other, and the fear that he'll make the same mistakes with his son. But he gets angry when Daniel treats him like an old man. On this voyage, the son will become the captain, and the father will relinquish control. Before long they are at sea, headed for the huge waves and unceasing wind of the Southern Ocean with only their skill as sailors, a compass, a sextant, a ship's cat, and Sparrow, the 25-foot boat they've built together. Lovers of sailing and travel books will find this often hilarious, often moving tale of voyage and self-discovery to be in the tradition of Farley Mowat's The Boat Who Wouldn't Float, Bruce Chatwin's In Patagonia, and Paul Theroux's The Happy Isles of Oceania. But more than that, it's the story of a father and son who go down to the sea to find each other, and of what they bring back.

Industry reviews
"My Old Man and the Sea will do that to everyone who reads it, will make you cry and smile and exult, even. It is an engrossingly beautiful tale of adventure of the spirit, aboard a little boat that dared great deeds."
New York Times Book Review - William F. Buckley Jr. (07/23/1995)

BOOANN'S CLOSET

************************************

My wife & I are avid readers, mostly Historical Novels, Suspense & Mystery Novels, by such authors as Deutermann, Cussler, Hillerman, Shaara, DeMille, C.J.Box, Nevada Barr & occasionally my wife reads Jane Karon or Kristy Kiernan. We usually scour the Bargain Bins at Borders or Barnes & Nobel for HARDBACK versions only. We decided to dwindle our mountains of books by passing them, & our Savings, on to some of you to enjoy. We do not mark in, or dog ear, our books & we try to take very good care of the dust covers. We will try to keep the cost VERY affordable, as well as the shipping cost, but please remember that we have to buy envelopes to ship them in, on top of the cost of mailing. Media Mail is the Cheapest but also takes longer. If you need it in a hurry......we can ship Priority if you are willing to pay the increased cost. PLEEEASE put us on your FAVORITES LIST or get on our E-MAIL LIST for new items & CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT OUR STORE @ BooAnnsCloset

Remember, they come from a SMOKE FREE HOME and..........we DO COMBINE SHIPPING.

Now let's pull something from BooAnnsCloset to bid on!!!!


MY OLD MAN AND THE SEA, An Adventure Story About Sailing Around the Cape Horn. David Hayes & Daniel Hayes.

A GREAT Adventure story. This book is in "Gift" condition.

Again, these books, like all the books we are selling, are in Excellent condition. Just some bumps & bruises on the corners, but no damage or markings, except the occasional name in the first page, & even then it is small & indiscreet. If there is any other damage we WILL tell you about it. For the most part they are fresh as the day they came home from Barnes & Nobel!!


DON'T LET IT GET AWAY AT THIS PRICE!!!!!!!!


THANKS FOR PEEKING INTO BooAnnsCloset!!!!!!


PAYMENT

  • Pay Pal




  • We gladly combine Shipping to save you as much money as possible.

  • We normally try to ship once a week as I run 2 other business,either MONDAY or Thursday. If you need it faster LET ME KNOW

  • Please remember, the U.S. Postal Service determines the cost of shipping, not me! I invoice actual cost of shipping + any packing supplies your particular item might need & make no profit on S&H.

  • If you bid on this auction you are agreeing to shipping charges listed, so please cut me a break on rating the Shipping & Handling Charges, as they are out of my control. Thank you.


  • IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO BUY INSURANCE I WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGE CAUSED IN SHIPPING.

  • I will happily provide you with a copy of the Postal Receipt but cannot be held responsible for the post office loosing a package once I give it to them.

  • Please remember!!! I strive to be a 5 STAR SELLER, So if you choose to save money with Parcel Posts, with the Post office shipping time ON TOP of my wait time, it could take as long as 3 physical weeks for your item to arrive. Please do not be unfair & give me negative feedback when you think it took to long.

    TO ALL BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE U.S

You MUST contact me about shipping cost and only pay with PAYPAL. Please note that I have no way of tracking international shipments, and cannot be responsible for items after they leave my hands at the post office,although I will provide you with the customs slip #. But I will give NO REFUNDS for lost international shipments. You can no longer insure overseas shipments nor can you get delivery confirmation for them so you are buying and shipping at YOUR OWN RISK.
