Book excerpt: To mark the publication of two other titles by Peter Nichols, A Voyage for Madmen and Lodestar Profile Books is delighted to announce the reissue of this, Peter Nichols_ first book, a biographical account of his own dramatic adventure. When his marriage ended, Peter Nichols had to sell the only thing he and his wife owned - their boat. With only his sextant, his instincts as a seasoned sailor and his memories of a floundering marriage, he sets out from England to sail to America to sell his beloved boat, Toad. Halfway across the Atlantic, Toad springs a leak. As the sea floods in faster, Nichols tries everything to stay afloat, desperately pumping the water out by hand. He loses the battle after 3 days and is forced to sink Toad. This is more than a sea-tale. It is the painful story of his marriage, his boat and himself.
