I discovered Christian Williams when I serendipitously came across his video journal of his singlehanded sailing to Hawaii and back on YouTube. Being close to his age I related deeply to him, not only his love of sailing, but his love of reading and history. He is aware of and part of "The Great Conversation" as am I. Aren't we all, as he might ask? His narration is enchanting and real. His book doesn't go a step further than his video log, it plunges to the depths of who he is, what he is doing, and who we all are. His insights into the human condition are profound and he writes with a master's touch making the complex simple, the difficult manageable, and the meaning of who we are and what we do, ( something so ethereal) almost touchable. He tells of his boat's diesel engine, a converted three cylinder tractor motor, as a tractor motor "sentenced forever to plow an ocean that won't hold a furrow." He connects things in a charming and meaningful way. In this book he teaches us much about sailing, the do's and the don'ts. He is transparent with his mistakes and humble in his triumphs, which his journey, video, and book certainly are. As I read I so wanted to be with him and then I realized I was. Perhaps that is his point and goal. A lovely and meaningful read.
I first discovered Christian Williams as many have, on YouTube, sailing his boat "Thelonious" singlehanded to Kauai, Hawaii. The first thing I noticed is that Christian is a genuinely nice person and he loves what he is doing. He is happy to explain it all with poetic prowess. As a trailer sailor, I long to sail singlehanded to Hawaii, but probably wont. I can however go along with him, and he welcomes our company. Every few months it seems that he is putting out a new video on Youtube showing what he is doing in his sailing endeavors (building a small pram, explaining how a sailboat autopilot works, fixing his fuel tanks) but my favorite must be just him filming himself meandering about the boat as it sails wing on wing, cooking, reading, navigating, stumbling. When I discovered he had written a few books on his experiences I immediately bought this one, "Alone Together". Initially I put it in cue to read after the Horatio Hornblower series (you forgot to recommend these fantastic sailing novels too, Christian) But I could not wait to get to Alone Together. I immediately cracked it open, like one of his splattering bottles of wine. Savoring the sweet dose of escape from the ridiculous reality we now find ourselves in, I let Christian take me along in Thelonious through this book. What a trip! When YouTube fails to satisfy your craving for this gentleman's adventures, buy this book and prolong the enjoyment of your life.
Reading sailing books has long been my obsession. I bought "Alone Together" without much enthusiasm, as my current reading interests are now somewhat distanced from sailing.However, CW's book deserves a well earned-place in the "classic sailing" narratives. The book is outstanding because of CW's keen observational powers on human nature and history.But the book is also an excellent manual of offshore sailing. CW's abilities as a sailor shines through. The book contains many usefull tidbits of sailing knowledge.I wonder if Thelonius had a traditional topping lift. The mini-crisis that ocurred when the halyard was lost could have bee averted using the topping lift as halyard. Inconveniencies when reefing etc are minor. At least until landfall.CW is also a polished wordsmith.I plan to read this book againMarcos GallacherSailing Vessel "Mar Dulce"Buenos Aires, Argentina
This is an absolutely wonderful, joyful, hilarious book with jokes on every page. Williams has created a new form -- taking the reader along on his trip and talking him through all the intricacies of sailing (which is incredibly interesting and fun to learn if you're not much of a sailor - and probably even more fun if you are) but also going on wonderful tangents on literature, philosophy and a lifetime of reading and experience. I have never read a book like this - closest I can come is Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which was very important to me when I was younger. A word also should be said about the author's style - which is formal and friendly and very very funny. If you like Mencken, you will laugh a lot - though Williams is not as mean as Mencken and seems to have nothing but affection for his world. There are wonderful descriptions of loneliness, of storms, of battered masts, broken steering wheels and impending hurricanes - and hilarious accounts of just sitting in the ocean bobbing up and down. For those who know Kauai, his insights there are pretty joyful also. The book is a wonderful celebration of a great adventure. It makes you want to get off your ass and do something extraordinary, but it doesn't make you miserable if you can't muster the courage. Very generous, very funny. A wonderful achievement. Highly recommended.
You don't have to be a sailor to enjoy this book because Christian has written a wonderful accounting of his voyage in a way that any non-sailor can also understand and enjoy. His story is more then about just sailing, which my wife also and I happen to enjoy. Just so happens that we even own that same make and model boat that he used to carry him to Hawai'i. So if you're a sailor you can relate to much in the story. Don't think for one moment that you'll read a chapter or two and then put it down to pick it up later either. You'll want to see what is over the next ocean swell with Christian because he invites you to join him for a wonderful, sometimes scary and in the end a life examining sail. I read it all over a short vacation trip and highly recommend it.
