This memorial volume contains a selection of entries from the logbooks kept during yachting legend Peter Blake's last voyage, which ended tragically when he was killed by pirates in the Amazon in December 2001. Lovingly presented in a large format edition (9.75x12.25"), the logbook entries are accompanied by color photos of the Seamaster, the remote areas of the voyage, and many of Blake himself. The volume chronicles travel from New Zealand to Antarctica then into Brazil and up a lengthy section of the Amazon. Alan Sefton, who edited the text, sailed with Blake and was his business partner.
