Gary Jobson (eBook, PDF)

An American Sailing Story

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

For Gary Jobson-the three-time All American sailor, America's Cup winner, Fastnet Race winner, and ESPN sailing commentator since 1985-sailing is life. In 2003, he was diagnosed with lymphoma, and here he relays the tumultuous diagnosis and treatments endured before the cancer went into remission. Through remission he remembers how his life has intertwined with some of the greatest sailors, how the sport has changed since his childhood, how the public view of sailing went through a revolutionary change with the advent of ESPN, how sailing can create lasting bonds of friendship that endure, and how sailing offers everything from the highest of adventures to the simplest of pleasures. This uplifting memoir also includes a foreword by Ted Turner.
