This novel is a fictional story. The idea for it was in my mind for a long time during my night watches on the bridge when I sailed as an officer, chief mate and captain. The question was, if I remain alone on the vessel in the middle of the ocean, can I bring it alone to a safe landing? However, to be alone, something must have happened to all the other crew members. What if all this happened – not in the present when I have enough experience as a captain, but as a cadet on my first voyage – and not only did I have to solve technical problems but also survive after the vessel was attacked by pirates? Can somebody solve all these problems and more psychological ones that appear due to loneliness and disappointment when the vessel is not found by the maritime authorities? Will the main character Răzvan Mândrescu be able to solve all these problems and save his life, the vessel and its cargo? You can find out if he succeeded or not by reading the captivating story Alone Against the Ocean.

  • Simona

    Sailing requires a deep sense of adventure - to go places no one has ever gone before, to make your mark in the world. Even those who don't wish to sail into the horizon can appreciate the spirit and dedication of a sailor.
    The quality of Captain C's work is always notably excellent and he also has a beautiful eye for the minor details and the human side of every story.
    If you are a fan of sailing stories, go ahead and give this book a try!
