255 pages, 4 color plates, map endpapers, cloth, dj, very good. From the dust jacket: "When he was in his thirties, Dodge Morgan lived aboard an old wooden schooner, never sleeping ashore for two and a half years. At that time, he made himself a promise: one day he would sail around the world alone in a boat he built himself." From an article in the Boston Globe 'Sweet Seclusion' by Edgar Allen Beem, "In 1985, after selling Controlonics, the security electronics firm he founded in Westford, Massachusetts, Morgan moved to Maine, commissioned a 60-foot sloop that he named American Promise, and set sail to break the world record for solo circumnavigation of the globe. His record-setting 150-day voyage was detailed in the 1989 PBS documentary Around Alone and in a book Morgan wrote about his experience, The Voyage of American Promise. In recent years, Morgan has been the owner of the Portland-based alternative newspaper Casco Bay Weekly and a partner in cp9.5VXIcp10.5 Corp., a New Hampshire company developing speech recognition hardware and software, but his love of adventure and isolation also led him to make elaborate preparations for a voyage to Antarctica."
