Abstract
Belloc’s reflective travel-memoir framed as a solo sail of his boat the Nona along the coasts of Britain. Storms and near-drownings alternate with meditations on fear and courage, faith, small kingdoms versus great states, words, politics and the past, so the voyage becomes a model of one human life.
