A 16 Year Sail Around the World

Autor Margaret Ruth Crabill
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Come sail with us and discover how a highly enthusiastic husband and a somewhat hesitant wife managed the challenge of circumnavigating the world in a small boat. It is not specifically a "how-to" book, although some major recommendations are included. It is more a book describing the remarkable 16-year adventure of crossing oceans, meeting local inhabitants, as well as other cruisers, in new and exciting places and adapting to a variety of different cultures. While traveling on a well-equipped sailing vessel with navigation equipment and safety gear, we developed a greater appreciation for Old World explorers like Captain Cook who departed from their homes often on ill-equipped boats and sailed through uncharted waters not knowing when or if they would be returning to their homeland. Giving credit where credit is due, our boat, S/V Tomorrow, did an outstanding job of getting us through the storms and rough waters we encountered while providing us with small but comfortable quarters as we traveled over 44,000 miles to 48 countries. The book describes the journey primarily in chronological order. Multiple visits to countries are condensed into one chapter per country. Inland side trips, home visits, and air travel to other destinations are described in the chapter of the country where Tomorrow was docked. From the comfort of your own easy chair or other favorite reading area, you are invited to join us on our 16 year sail around the world. Welcome aboard.
