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.
