| This eloquently written novel takes you along with sailor/author Clyde L. Lovett as he embarks unaided on a six month pilgrimage from San Francisco around Mexico and Central America through the Panama Canal and to Florida by way of the outer reaches of his soul. The exotic setting and encounters might be foreign; however the themes addressed in Imperfect Calm - loneliness, loss, temptation, longing for acceptance - are classic. How one man sets sail for the farthest shore and finds himself in the process is something to which even landlubbers can relate.
