Excellent Nautical Memoir
A lively memoir for all ages/levels, and one of the most successful books I've found for ESL with adults, especially those who know something about sailing. What I didn't expect, though probably should have, was that because Paulsen's prose is so direct, and lyrical at just the right moments, it inspired enthusiastic writing from students who'd otherwise been reluctant to pen anything.

Like the audacious lifestyle he has written about, this book is not only entertaining but also full of the teaching treasures of nature. The nail biting, tormenting scenes of his boat almost capsizing, his sleeping bag being filled with sea water, coffee grounds and oatmeal and his mesmerizing use of vocabulary leave readers on the edge of their seats.
