Fart From the Madding Crowd

Towards the end of August 1993, I embarked on an epic, solo odyssey from my home near Brisbane, Australia to my new home in Cairns, Far North Queensland.

The voyage, transiting the beautiful 'Coral Sea' and the amazing 'Great Barrier Reef', was undertaken in a tiny, 24 foot sailing boat and covered nearly two thousand nautical miles. During the long, seven week cruise, I encountered mountainous seas, cyclonic winds, gigantic sea monsters, aliens, a plot by a megalomaniac to take over the world and the lost city of Atlantis..... Okay, that maybe an exaggeration, but I did have a lot of fun.

This is the story of that adventure. Read it and be amazed, but remember, very word is true, only the way I've arranged them is a bit questionable.
