Short Stories for the Daring Yachtsman

By Ib Svane

Every port has yachtsmen, who have boats in the marina and enjoy regattas and short cruises to nearby islands. But there is another tribe who came from far away for provisions, repairs, or just a look around. You may call them the wanderers of the sea. They meet on the docks, in the cafes or cockpits, to tell stories and discuss sailing plans, boats and weather. Where to go next? Experience is a valued commodity.

Many yachting stories describe difficult passages and the beauty of remote islands. This collection of short stories is different. It is about the lives of yachtsmen and women who sail along the coast of Mexico. Many prepare themselves for a cross-Pacific voyage and beyond. Crossing an ocean will change their lives forever. They become sailors, real sailors. Life may never be as planned, sometimes with surprising outcomes and tragic endings.
