Description

Sailing to the South Pacific islands is a dream for almost anyone who has learned to sail. In this account of an eight-thousand mile voyage from California to French Polynesia and back in a forty-nine foot sailboat, Stuart Jackson describes the realities of daily life at sea, preparations to ensure safe passages and landfalls, crew dynamics, mistakes made and the author's personal reflections on "turning up the contrast on life" by finding joy and wonder in new experiences
