The Blog ECCO #MARITIME LITERATURE

A seminal work of maritime literature, in which Moitessier recounts his solo circumnavigation of the globe during the Golden Globe Race. Sailing across the oceans, he describes his profound connection to the sea, his philosophical reflections, and his legendary decision to continue his voyage rather than return to victory. An ode to freedom, simplicity, and the inner quest.

Isabelle Autissier's "Only the Sea Will Remember" tells the tragic story of Peter March, an amateur sailor who competes in a solo round-the-world race in 1969. Inspired by true events, the novel explores the themes of loneliness, cheating, and madness at sea.
