The sounds of a ship in a storm can drive anyone mad. The wind screams through the rigging; the flapping edges of the sails boom like thunderclaps; the fiberglass hulls twist under stress, creaking and popping like joints in old age. A boat is as serene as a sleeping duck when she's in port, but in a maelstrom, she groans and growls as if every seam were coming undone. When I turned 40, I took a year long break from writing novels and built a catamaran on the southern tip of Africa, a boat that I would then take across the Atlantic and the Pacific to Fiji and beyond. It'd been my dream to sail around the world since I was young. |

Andrew Watt can't say what he's working on. It's mid-December in London, and the record producer behind hits by Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Post Malone is feeling a little tongue-tied. It's not his news to share, you see. But it's important—"the most excited I've ever been about anything," he says about the mysterious project. The star power of his Rolodex may not have lost its luster for Watt yet, but his high-profile bookings come as no surprise to anyone who's followed popular music in the past decade. |
