Alone between sky and sea

It is worth trying everything to fulfill a dream. It is risky. But the biggest risk would be not to try. Boris Herrmann is the first German to compete in the Vendée Globe, the most famous and toughest regatta in the world. After a breathtaking race, Boris Herrmann secured a spectacular fifth place with his yacht Sea Explorer. Here, he recounts all his experiences and emotions for the first time, the most beautiful and dangerous moments, his struggle against loneliness, and the courage to be farther from land most of the time than the astronauts on the ISS. The bestselling author also explains why protecting the oceans is so important to him and how he has been committed to climate and nature conservation for years. A book not only for sailors but for everyone who dreams of the vastness of the oceans and adventures. "In 80 days around the world, to the limits of human capability and beyond." STERN.
