A 31-Foot Sailboat, 3.5 Years, and One Man's Solo Voyage Around the World
Confessions of a Long-Distance Sailor
In 1988, Paul Lutus set sail from the U.S. West Coast in a 31-foot boat, embarking on a 3.5-year solo circumnavigation. His firsthand account covers pirates, storms, wars, and the profound relationship between a solitary sailor and the sea. From initial fear of leaving shore to a desire to never touch land again, Lutus's story offers a raw, personal glimpse into the transformative power of long-distance sailing.
Read how I changed — from fearing to leave shore, to wanting never to touch land again.

I wish more people knew the joy and the rawness of the ocean.
