He'd never before handled a boat at sea,but wanted to inspect the strange country where he lived from beyond the blue,flying no ensign; an independent navigator with a sceptical outsider's eye for his homeland.He sailed deep into his own past, Britain's troubled present,into a realm of wonderful reflections and illuminations.A story of the sea which is also a penetrating dissection of the Britain of its time.
