Once Is Enough by Miles Smeeton follows his and his wifes Beryl's adventures as they sailed their 46-foot Bermuda ketch, 'Tzu Hang', in the wild seas on Cape Horn. Following the tracks of the old sailing clippers through the world's most deadliest and unpredictable waters. This is an exciting true story of survival against all odds, but it is also a thoughtful book which provides hard-learned lessons for other intrepid sailors who wish to take the same trip.
