Three Years with Sylvia Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an absolutely wonderful book by one of the 20th century's true Renaissance men.
Widely known as a highly successful mercenary soldier, Mike Hoare was instrumental et al in the rescue of countless missionaries during the ferocious fighting which engulfed the Congo during the sixties.
But here, in a fascinating display of versatility, Hoare lays aside his weapons to write a superbly heart-warming tale of adventure on the high seas.
Hoare recounts how, while working in Asia, he decides to buy a 100 Baltic Trader yacht and together with his family, embarks on a three year odyssey afloat.
What follows is a touching tale of family life at sea, as Mike Hoare and family voyage from port to port, meeting outlandish characters and experiencing adventures that make this a fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable read.
There were times that tears literally rolled down my cheeks as I cried with laughter at some of Hoare's misadventures, only to find myself rocked by true tragedy mere pages later.
This book is about life, and few authors today are as adept at capturing each nuance as Mike Hoare.
