The Cap Pilar's adventures-standing off the great surf of lonely Tristan da Cunha, fleeing before the howling westerlies from the Cape of Good Hope across nearly 6,000 miles of ocean to Tasmania, delicately threading between the coral reefs of the South Seas-are fascinating reminders of the age of seamanship...

Young ordinarily gets up at 6 a.m., goes for a quick dip in the surf, eats a quick breakfast, then quickly gets to work. His workroom is a second-floor bedroom facing the ocean.
