As a hurried final leg of a circumnavigation, Trinidad Express chronicles the 53-day, 5,400-mile voyage from South Africa to Trinidad with stops in Saint Helena Island and Fernando de Noronha, Brazil. Written from the viewpoint of a replacement crew member, the author's fascination is evident in learning from a seasoned captain and in the recounting of boat preparations, sightseeing, and poignant insights into the history of countries and sites visited. Join the blue water adventure of sailing vessel Advent II.
