Tales of epic seavoyages are as relevant today as about 75 years ago. What strikes one is the total recklessness of Tambs which was countered by astonishing good luck which should have ended his voyage in disaster a lot sooner than it did. His children, and especially his wife, hardly rate a mention. However, it is a tale of monumental endurance and will be loved by all those who lve the sea.
