In between we’ll dip into all that the Schooner Zodiac has to offer, from kayaking to hiking to top-notch meals to cocktails on deck at sunset. Then the anchor drops and the books come out!

Adventure My Old Man and the Mountain : A Memoir by Leif Whittaker
available in April, paperback, Mountaineers Books
Now available in paperback, My Old Man and the Mountain is Leif Whittaker's engaging and humorous story of what it was like to "grow up Whittaker"—the youngest son of Jim Whittaker, the first American to summit Mount Everest—until a chance encounter leads to the opportunity to climb Everest himself. But Leif's story is not his father's story. It's a unique coming of age tale and a climbing adventure that lights the imagination and fills an emotional human endeavor with universal meaning.

available in March, paperback, W.W. Norton
David Roberts has spent his career documenting voyages to the most extreme landscapes on earth. In Limits of the Known, he reflects on humanity’s—and his own—relationship to exploration and extreme risk. Part memoir and part history, this book tries to make sense of why so many have committed their lives to the desperate pursuit of adventure. And what is the future of adventure in a world we have mapped and trodden from end to end?
