Christian Beamish, a notable writer for The Surfer's Journal, has done what every guy since Huck Finn has dreamed of doing: making his own boat and sailing it to paradise, with adventures along the way.

How the vision met reality - and how the two came to shape each other - places The Voyage of the Cormorant in the great American tradition of tales of life at sea, and what it has to teach us.
CHRISTIAN BEAMISH, a former associate editor at The Surfer's Journal, is a writer, surfer, sailor, boat builder and fisherman who engaged all this skills during his travels on the Cormorant. He currently lives in Carpinteria with his wife and two children.
