Publisher Description
Here are the exciting adventures of two loving friends who, in their "retirement," deliver sailboats to exotic islands in the South Pacific and thread their way down Australia's Great Barrier Reef among their many adventures. Join them as they experience violent storms with gale-force winds and dangerous anchorages, battling huge fish and often catching and eating them while crisscrossing the International Date Line. Toasting King Neptune while crossing the equator. Avoiding dangerous coral reefs and rocky shores. Feel their frustrations dealing with breakdowns in rigging, engine, generator, steering and ripped sails. Enjoy the quiet of a star-filled night watch on a long passage, or endure the fright of looking at the last drop of drinking water. Invited to royal functions in the Kingdom of Tonga, they experienced the boundless generosity of the Polynesian islanders they met in French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga.
