Stuart Woods – Blue Water, Green Skipper

Stuart Woods’s Blue Water, Green Skipper: A Memoir Of Sailing Alone Across The Atlantic was his first book to be published.

It’s a non-fiction account of, as the name suggests, when he sailed across the Atlantic Ocean by himself.

This memoir was originally published on June 17, 1977 before being re-released in 2012.

Blue Water, Green Skipper book description

Stuart Woods had never owned more than a dinghy before setting out on one of the world’s most demanding sea voyages, navigating single-handedly across the Atlantic. How, at the age of thirty-seven, did this self-proclaimed novice go from small ponds to the big sea?

Now with a new afterword that looks back at how one transatlantic race changed his life, Woods takes readers on a spectacular journey not just of traveling across the world, but of being tried in fire, learning by accepting challenges, appreciating the beauty of the open water, and living to tell about it.
