Living in the Lap of the Gods
Lynn Roach
It was love at first sight when Lynn laid eyes on her. He was a Welsh toolmaker by trade dreaming of adventure, and she a classic wooden yacht in desperate need of love and attention.
Lynn had caught the travel bug at an early age, and here it was: the chance to live his dream. After years restoring the yacht with the help of many good friends, Lynn was ready for the biggest adventure of his life: crossing the Atlantic, sailing single-handed in a yacht without an engine. Waiting across the pond were sunny days and warm blue seas lapping on white sandy beaches, and it would take more than a few days of bad weather to keep him from following his dream. In 1995, sailing on the yacht Seefalke, Lynn left Barry, South Wales. This book is the true story of his voyage, the places he saw and the people he met along the way. Buying the yacht was only the start of Lynn’s great adventure. Genre: Non-Fiction
