Sailing to the Edge of Fear is a breathtaking account of a man against the sea in an open boat. Few can imagine confronting the challenges of the North Atlantic by sailing through hurricanes, sweltering heat, thick fog, and dangerous currents--never mind facing this journey alone in a 16-foot open d inghy with no engine. But to Frank Dye, taking on this type of risky long-distance voyage is second nature. In Sailing to the Edge of Fear, Dye and his beloves Wayfarer dinghy, Wanderer, take us onen epic adventure--spanning seven summers--from Florida, past New York and Maine to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, up the trwcherous St. Lawrence river, and finally to the western reaches of the Great Lakes.
