Night Watch

About the Book

On March 21, 1997, a 42´ sloop sailed under Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco Bay after a circumnavigation that covered 2 years, 30,000 miles and over 30 countries. Night Watch: Memoirs of a Circumnavigation is the author´s record of that voyage, compiled from her letters and journal entries. While the account vividly describes the author´s never predictable experience of being at sea, it focuses on the people she encountered along the way, offering insightful observations into their lives. With an eye for detail and sensitivity to the color and flavor of her experience, Ms. Knecht invites the reader to sit back in a comfortable armchair and taste a delicious bite of the world.
