Jack London, one of the most popular American writers, produced over fifty books of fiction and nonfiction during his lifetime. In 1906, without studying navigation, he and his wife Charmian and a small crew set out for Hawaii, hoping not to get lost. His misadventures at sea led him through the native uprisings, the doldrums, and the then unknown sport of surfing.
Jack London describes the construction and outfitting of his boat in San Francisco, including frustrations with vendors, with which every boat owner will sympathize. London narrates his adventures in Hawaii and his perilous navigation across the Pacific sailing through the windless doldrums to the Marquesas Islands, Typee, Papeete, Raiatea, Bora Bora, Fiji, Samoa, and the Solomon Islands, before being overcome by tropical diseases and fever. This first person narrative, the first recording as an audiobook, combines London's spirit of adventure with his wonderful sense of humor.
