John Kretschmer, maritime author and sailor, gives talk on new book “Sailing to the Edge of Time”

MARINA DEL REY—John Kretschmer, who recently released a new book “Sailing to the Edge of Time,” will be giving a presentation about the newly published content exploring why humans sail out to sea at California Yacht Club in Marina del Rey. The lecture will take place on Dec. 19.

Released in November, Kretschmer’s book is currently number one in the sailing category on Amazon. Described as a “chronicle of sailing life,” Kretschmer’s narrative tells the tale of his travels around the world in humorous, sometimes poignant and terrifyingly relatable sailing stories.

According to Kretschmer, “It’s one of my memoir/quasi-useful books, but this one looks are the core reasons of why we go out to sea. It’s philosophical and funny, and filled with stories, some terrifying and others just descriptions of those magical days under the sail.”

One reviewer on Amazon stated, “The worst part of this book is that it had to end. A must read for lovers of the world’s oceans as told by one of our modern day philosophers.”

This event is free and open to all who enjoy yachting and ocean adventures, and will begin at 7:30 p.m.

California Yacht Club is located at 4469 Admiralty Way in Marina del Rey.
