‘Why not send the story of my record attempt by radiotelephone every day?’ A New Zealand magazine had bought a similar story from me on my 1936 flight. I offered my story first to The Observer, because they had been so pleasant to deal with in the 1960 race; but a daily story was not really suitable for a Sunday paper. Towards Christmas 1961 John Anderson of The Guardian asked me to present the annual prizes to a sailing association of which he was vice-commodore. I remembered a review he had written of my book, Alone Across the Atlantic, which

Shortly before this I sailed out of the Gulf Stream and back into the Labrador current again. I was now in fog, and the sea was greenish. A few hours earlier I had been on the foredeck in swimming shorts an hour before midnight; now I lit the Aladdin stove. Soon I was becalmed in thin fog on George’s Shoal. Trawlers hooting in the fog were passing unseen to and fro all around. Trawlers presumably indicated fish, so I rousted out my line and streamed it overboard. When below again, I heard an uncanny quiet plunk! ending in a sigh.

On 27 June the day’s run was 132% miles. At 9 p.m. I turned in early; the wind was backing and I expected to be called out soon. At 11 p.m. I woke and lay listening to Gipsy Moth riding madly through the night. It was rough going, but also it was intensely exhilarating, and I lay for some time pondering whether I should let her carry on. I thought that the mast, sails and gear could stand the strain, but Miranda was the weak link I feared for. Finally I dragged myself out of my blankets and climbed into

All this time I had been pondering my 1960 race across the Atlantic. Before the start I had known that the rival yachts would never see each other, and I had set myself a target time to race against, thirty days. This was the time I reckoned that a winning yacht of Gipsy Moth’s class should take with a full crew of six, in an RORC race across the Atlantic from east to west. In 1962, for example, there were twelve RORC races in British and French waters. They averaged 250 miles apiece, so that the twelve totalled the same

I got another sun-shot when the sun half showed through the ragged stormy sky. I had to grab the chance, and though I only poked my nose out of the hatch, both the sextant and I got a thorough sea bath again. The seas were very rough, about 12 feet, with a gale south-west by west. 16 June. How that anchor light maddened me! Once it went out while hanging quietly on a hook in the cabin without being touched. The battery charging on this day got the acid level up to 1143. I was still getting my story through

The New York Stock Exchange, across the way, is the largest in the United States and well worth a visit. The entrance at 20 Broad Street leads into the visitors’ gallery, open during most of the Exchange’s trading hours (10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday). From there you’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the trading floor. You may not have the slightest idea of what’s going on, but the sight is one you’ll never forget. You can learn about the workings of the Exchange from a permanent exhibit and a film, as well as a guided tour. A

Despite their sedentary reputation, New Yorkers enjoy cycling, baseball. You can always walk away from the crowds who tend to settle near the parking areas. To get there, take the Long Island Railroad from Penn Station to Freeport, and then a bus (frequent service in summer) from the station to the beach. Of course you can also go by car. Only a subway (B. QB) ride away is Coney Island in Brooklyn, the birth-place of the hot dog. If you find the beach too crowded or noisy or dirty, wander over to the amusement park. This is a very good

A little further uptown, between Broadway and Park Row, you’ll find the City Hall, built between 1803 and 1812. The offices of the mayor of New York are located” here. There’s also an interesting collection of portraits and furniture from the federal period. Open to the public most weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. You need no directions to find the twin towers of the World Trade Center: they’re visible all over town. Not (quite) the tallest buildings in the world, the figures are nonetheless impressive: 1,350 feet high with 43,600 windows. Each tower has 23 express and 72

Lower East Side At the turn of the century, the period of the main waves of immigration, many newcomers moved into the Lower East Side. The vast majority of them stayed only a few years, long enough to learn English, find a job and set off to make a living elsewhere in the United States. Some stayed on, though, and today three small ethnic enclaves remain on the Lower East Side: Chinatown, Little Italy and the Jewish quarter. For some, life hasn’t changed much since their grandparents’ day. These cultural islands are all clustered together. You can see all three
