A book about a blue water sea adventure aboard a sailboat within the reach of ordinary people’s pocket.

A description of the boat transfer by sea from Holland to Italy follows, with a chapter that narrates the legs from Holland to Portugal through Enea Riboldi’s comics. An adventurous sailing with moments of stress and tension like in the case of the two gales on the Atlantic Ocean and the night encounter with the Spanish border police on the open sea.
But also a pleasant cruising like during the Mediterranean part when time slows down and one can perceive the sense of freedom, joy and harmony with the world that comes from this experience.
The publication concludes with a series of practical advice about how to prepare a small great boat in view of challenging blue water sailing adventures.
