Reseña del libro "Fine Young Vagabonds: Selected Writings From a Contemporary Adventurer (en Inglés)"
"Before the whole thing happened I didn't know that I was going to be in the heart of one of the worst El Nino events in recorded history, didn't know that the dead engine would leave me drifting in a 27-foot boat across 4,000 miles of mostly windless ocean, didn't think that in a few weeks' time that I'd be biting the heads off of dried up flying fish I found lying on deck to ward off starvation. My daydreams were full of romantic images of trekking through the Galapagos Islands and climbing the moai on Easter Island, of drinking kava with the locals in Polynesia and watching the Vahines dance to a tropical drumbeat beside roaring bonfires on the beach in Tahiti.Funny how things turn out sometimes.Sitting there alone, hundreds of miles from the nearest living person, with your empty sails flopping back and forth and your food supply slowly running out day by day, you realize that no matter how well you plan things out, no matter how sure you might have been of your course through life, sometimes the universe has other plans."From the bookWhen Ryan Langley dropped out of High School to try to sail around the world at age 17 most people said he would fall overboard or be drown. When he hitchhiked to Mexico with just $8 and a backpack they said he would be kidnapped by the drug cartel. When he wandered into the Thai revolution in Bangkok they said he would be shot.But Ryan made it back every time. And he kept going out into the world for more. Fine Young Vagabonds is his collection of stories from nine years on the road and at sea, a brutally honest, often humorous, but always exciting account of the life of a young vagabond in the 21st century. It's a wild ride from the South Pacific Seas to the protests in Thailand, from a tropical island in the Philippines to the streets of San Francisco. Think Jack London meets Bill Bryson meets Jon Krakauer. After reading Fine Young Vagabonds you will be inspired to take off on a wild adventure too.
