With only a sextant, his instincts as a seasoned sailor, and a boat filled with memories of his floundering marriage, Peter Nichols sets out alone from England headed toward Maine, where he plans to sell his beloved, twenty-seven foot engineless boat, TOAD. Halfway across the ocean, his boat springs a leak and his voyage becomes a desperate struggle to survive.
