📚 Un jour de pluie parfait pour voyager sans quitter la cabine…Je commence la lecture de : « Seul autour du monde », le récit du tout premier tour du monde en solitaire à la voile, réalisé par Joshua Slocum entre 1895 et 1898 à bord du Spray, un voilier de 11 mètres qu’il avait lui-même restauré.Un livre superbement illustré, inspirant… et savouré en excellente compagnie 🐶 #LectureEnMer #JoshuaSlocum #Voilier #TourDuMonde #NavigationSolitaire #JourDePluie #VivreEnBateau #Plaisance #ChihuahuaEnMer #JoyEnMer #plaisance ⚓ Abonne-toi et embarque avec moi !
