具体描述
The adventure begins when Jim Moore announces to his bride of two months that they will build a boat and sail to the South Pacific. Circumnavigating the world in a 36-foot sloop isn't generally regarded as an adventure to be taken lightly. However, lightly is just how Jim and Molly Moore took it and the story of their journey provides refreshing and amusing inspiration to all long-distance cruising sailors, actual or potential. Most of the book recounts the adventures of their four-year voyage that started in 1977. They sailed from Oregon to California, Hawaii, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Mauritius, South Africa, Namibia, Brazil, the Caribbean, Florida, Panama, Costa Rica, and then back to Oregon. Along the way, they met a varied assortment of people, sea and bird creatures, and some weather extremes. The Moores brought to their journey a great deal of practical knowledge. Jim Moore's narrative expresses in the most entertaining ways how that knowledge was brought to bear. Jim became a boatbuilder, mechanic and carpenter, an unwilling ornithologist, amateur historian and raconteur extraordinaire. Molly, enthusiastic or dubious, was his perfect partner and foil. A delightful cruising adventure. The hardcover edition of this book received some of the best reviews of any recent cruising narrative.
