The Water in Between (Random $32.95)
A broken heart and an army stint led neophyte sailboat owner Kevin Patterson to aim for the South Seas. In The Water in Between (Random $32.95), the runaway voyager suggests most solitary sailors are refugees, not heroes.
"The 'traveller' drips with vanity,"; says Patterson, a former UBC Fine Arts student. "There is nowhere we can go where our shiny faces, hideous Tilley hats and too-large nylon packs would be unfamiliar to those being toured. Even if we imagine a place to be exotic, we're not, not any more."; The Sea Mouse is moored on Saltspring Island; Patterson is in Halifax studying internal medicine. 0-679-30999-3
