About the Book

Sailing Around the World is about an exciting and different way of life, exploring faraway lands, and meeting amazing people. It's an adventure, and it's about living life fully. The authors overcome adversities with humor and wits. They begin the journey as greenhorns, but return as salty shellbacks after risking their lives in devastating storms and vexing disasters. What's it like to be at sea thousands of miles from nowhere? Readers can experience that while exploring strange lands and distant shores vicariously. The book tells it like it is, good, bad, or stormy. Readers can sail along, one chapter at a time, to circle around the world. Volume 1 (1977685927), adventures of a second life, begins with how the authors almost met their doom. Despite that disastrous start, they manage to sail from California to the Pacific Islands, across the Equator, and to arrive at Sydney, Australia. Volume 2, finding our way home, brings them back to California by way of the pirate alley, through the Suez and Panama Canals, and bashing north along the Pacific Coast against fierce conditions.

About the Author: Howard learned to sail on Lake Washington in Seattle. He loves sailing, but he'll tell you that sailing isn't the most important skill for cruising the world. Sure, one should know what those triangle things hanging on the mast are for and how to use them. It's all those other job skills on the boat that are important...like how to whisper kind loving words to the diesel engine and how to curse the weather with the appropriate language. It's all the knowledge he didn't acquire as a Ph.D. biologist. Judy is lucky that her skill, as a Registered Nurse, is transferable no matter where she goes, but she has no love for sailboats. She would rather turn the diesel engine on than jibing the main. Judy is careful and Howard is risk tolerant. Yet the two not only survived eight years together on a small sailboat, they will be celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary in 2018.
