About this listen

A master storyteller. “Something is out there that doesn’t have a name,” writes veteran sailor and writer Christian Williams as he invites us along once again on a 5,000-mile voyage of discovery around the North Pacific. Equipped with a new boat, a well-stocked toolbox, and the entire history of philosophic thought, he takes us as crew through squalls and calms deep into a laboratory of the universe that exists only out of sight of land.

Funny, erudite, and at times deeply personal, Philosophy of Sailing explores who we are and how encounters with the unknown can be a path to revelation and joy. With 20,000 miles at sea, Williams is also a master teacher of how to sail a boat across perilous oceans and the renovation of yacht and outlook required before departing on the voyage of a lifetime.

With a preparation guide, toolbox of books, and glossary of nautical terms.

relaxing, humorous, educating and insightful. wonderful narrating voice too. I watched Christians you tube videos of his voyages on the ocean and if you like those you will love the book.

Christian Williams has crafted a wonderful story, which combines philosophical insight and reflections, with an easy, enjoyable sense of humour. This is a book I have come back to listen to time and again. Well done Sir! Looking forward to more tales in the future. Highly recommended.

Just Glorious

A great book with sailing and philosophy blended with skill! Each chapter takes you through a different sailing concept and delivers a gentle dive into philosophy. The voice (the author) is compelling and easy to listen to.

everything to love, nothing to hate
