This story is about two people, born into the uncertainties of the 1939-1945 War, who fell in love with each other and with sailing and who, encouraged by the example of other seafarers, completed over a period of 50 years a circumnavigation of the world's favourite sailing destinations albeit missing out the long blue bits. The book contains anecdotes as well as practical advice ensuring it is a must-read for boat lovers as well as those yet to find their sea legs. There is seamanship on every page. It will have a special appeal for those contemplating sailing in distant waters who wish to compare cruising grounds. As well as covering sailing and seamanship, it is a travelogue in its own right, reflecting the history and culture met along the way.
