Wiberg - Written between 1994 and 2009, is a memoir of global travel and an unfulfilled college crush. The book follows the narrator out of school and across the Pacific. At only 23 he has command of a 68-foot Burmese-teak ketch built in Scotland thrust upon him. The owner is on a voyage home to his death, and along the way they hire sailors twice the skipper's age. They makes it to New Zealand in a storm which sinks seven yachts, then spends months shearing sheep and writing a memoir. By the time the narrator makes a rendezvous with his college sweetheart (who has been teaching Thai students on the Burmese border), she seems to have all but forgotten him. This leads to a less than satisfactory denouement and puts at least one of them in the hospital. The book includes extensive photographs and hand-drawn charts and a detailed bibliography. It is over 400 pages in length, perfect bound in cloth. ericwiberg.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Island Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46889671262359,"sku":"9780984399826","price":2214.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780984399826.webp?v=1770265931","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/round-the-world-in-the-wrong-season-9780984399826","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
