Hannes Lindemann (born 1922), a German physician and avid small-boat sailor, recounts two solo transatlantic crossings he made: the first, in 1955, in a traditional dugout canoe bought from a fisherman in Liberia; and the second, a year later, in a folding sea kayak. Motivated in part by his interest in survival at sea, he sought to reproduce the conditions of a castaway, largely relying on fishing and rainwater and emphasising strong mental discipline.

Excerpts
From a very early age I have loved the sea and sailing.

In all of us there is an impulse—though it may be deeply hidden—to leave behind us our ordinary lives and go beyond the morning to seek our fortunes.

Above all, my advice to the castaway is never to give up hope.
