 Rating:  - Alone on a wide wide sea is a great book!!!Alone on a Wide Wide Sea I dont read books much, but then when i went to the library the librarian pointed this book out to me, so i took it home and started reading.

Although his first sea voyage is miserable and his first years in the outback desperately hard, he grows to love the sea, the Ancient Mariner is his bible, and he becomes a master boat-builder. Life then takes a dive into deep dark water where he flounders for some years before finding `dry land' once again. The second section of the book has a far more contemporary ...
