Tom Gauthier
On September 13, 1996, twenty four year old Benjamin Wade set out on a solo voyage in a tiny sea kayak. As he pushed off from the shores of San Felipe, his goal lay 6,000 miles away – and deep within his own soul.
The chance discovery of his journals, buried on a Colombian cliff above the sea, uncovered a mystery which took many years to finally solve. His journals tell of misery and elation, of triumph and failure, of insight and insanity.
Follow the events which will forge his character, and follow the mind of a young man set on achieving a dream that no amount of misfortune can dissuade him from reaching . . . on a journey that challenges his survival, and brings him face to face with himself.

“Wow! That’s the only word which describes this marvelous book. It is one you will hate to see end and will try to sparingly read to the finish.”
“Tom Gauthier has taken Ben’s notes and fleshed out the experiences of this man. The result is an extraordinary adventure, outward and inward. I don’t want to give too much away but, please, if there is only one book you will read this year, read this one. It will entertain you and make you think.”

“The first person who walked between the glaciers into a pristine valley, and then managed to come back and show the others how to get there, had a certain gene. Nowadays, this particular gene doesn’t get a workout very often, but here’s a story about a young man who possesses it, and what it made him do.”
“A Voyage Beyond Reason is a fine adventure story. If you are a fan of the “true adventure” genre, ocean-going, exotic locale variety, or, if you are a Survivor junkie, you’ll probably enjoy this one.”

(My Thoughts: 5 Star Inspirational)
“Tom Gauthier has written a truly inspiring story of Bens’ search for inner worth. Gauthier interlaces his own thoughts when reading the journal, sections of the journal and recreates actual events from interviews and remembrances. He has done an excellent job of capturing the human spirit. I loved this book.”
