4.0 out of 5 stars There's a bigger life out there than the nine-to five grind, 27 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I first read the book when I was sixteen(the same age as Robin) and it has always given me something to aspire to. Like many people, I would love to know what he and Patti are doing now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific reading for sailors and non-sailors alike., 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer
A autobiographical acount of Robin Lee Graham's record-breaking solo trip around the world in a 23' sailboat. As a sailor I found it spectacular. An easy reading and whimsical story that will wrap you up and have you turning the last page before you put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money, 7 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I have to say the book "The Dove" is far the BEST book I've ever read. The Dove is about a 16 year old boy who's looking for a goal in life. He decides that he is going to atempt to sail around the world. During his journey he meets a lady (Who he later marries),named Patti. The only thing wrong with the story is the excess amount of sequence, but, its really doesn't matter because this is a true story and it really happened. I thought this book was great, anyone who enjoys adventures, or enjoys the sea this is certainly the right book for you.
