Close to the Wind by Pete Goss

Pete Goss shares his adventures and philosophy - and the lessons learned - during the Vendee Globe race and the ten years of preparation for it. He tells of the dramas of the race, including his rescue of Frenchman Raphael Dinelli, along with his thoughts during his solitude at sea.
Pete Goss is a professional yachtsman and a former member of the Royal Marines. After nine years in the Marines he left to embark on a full-time sailing career which led to success in the single-handed transatlantic race and the Vendee Globe, during which he rescued fellow-yachtsman Raphael Dinelli. He continues to sail all over the world and lives in Cornwall with his family.
