内容简介:

  Welcome to the daring, thrilling, and downright strange

adventures of William Willis, one of the world’s original extreme

sportsmen. Driven by an unfettered appetite for personal challenge

and a yen for the path of most resistance, Willis mounted a

single-handed and wholly unlikely rescue in the jungles of French

Guiana and then twice crossed the broad Pacific on rafts of his own

design, with only housecats and a parrot for companionship. His

first voyage, atop a ten-ton balsa monstrosity, was undertaken in

1954 when Willis was sixty. His second raft, having crossed eleven

thousand miles from Peru, found the north shore of Australia

shortly after Willis’s seventieth birthday. A marvel of vigor and

fitness, William Willis was a connoisseur of ordeal, all but

orchestrating short rations, ship-wreck conditions, and crushing

solitude on his trans-Pacific voyages.

He’d been inspired by Kon-Tiki, Thor Heyerdahl’s bid to prove

that a primitive raft could negotiate the open ocean. Willis’s

trips confirmed that a primitive man could as well. Willis survived

on rye flour and seawater, sang to keep his spirits up,

communicated with his wife via telepathy, suffered from bouts of

temporary blindness, and eased the intermittent pain of a double

hernia by looping a halyard around his ankles and dangling

upside-down from his mast.

Rich with vivid detail and wry humor, Seaworthy is the story of a

sailor you’ve probably never heard of but need to know. In an age

when countless rafts were adrift on the waters of the world, their

crews out to shore up one theory of ethno-migration or tear down

another, Willis’s challenges remained refreshingly personal. His

methods were eccentric, his accomplishments little short of

remarkable. Don’t miss the chance to meet this singular monk of the

sea.

媒体评论

  “Seaworthy is an impressive achievement, powerful in drama and

rich in detail in describing the rafting career of William Willis,

a solitary sailor on the vast Pacific committed to proving himself

under the most forbidding circumstances possible. His exploits were

sometimes heartrending, sometimes ludicrous, and sometimes absurd,

but Pearson’s narrative, like his prose, never overreaches, never

abandons a cool objectivity in relating incidents of heroism no

less than those of a vainglorious eccentricity or appalling

stupidity. Unfailingly wise, often funny, and always penetrating,

Seaworthy is no less entertaining and always enjoyable.” —W. T.

Tyler, author of The Man Who Lost the War and The Consul’s

Wife
