Product Description
Cruising the South Pacific is a fascinating true story of the author and his wife’s four-year cruise through the South Pacific. The book tells a humorous, touching, and exciting story of finding strange and primitive cultures; fighting the elements in the open seas; and making friends with both fellow cruisers and islanders. Each day of this adventure brings strange and wonderful discoveries. Each day also brings an appreciation of the force and tenacity of Mother Nature and the work necessary to remain safe and alive. With a thirty-day passage from all that was familiar to a new and foreign part of the world, this is a tale landlubbers and sailors can usually only imagine, but the Austins did it in a 37' Morgan sailboat.
