By Way of the Wind: Refreshing, Amusing and Practical Inspiration for all Long-distance Sailors -- and Those who Dream About It!

by Jim Moore

Overview

The adventure begins when Jim Moore announces to his bride of two months that they will build a boat and sail to the South Pacific. Circumnavigating the world in a 36-foot sloop isn't generally regarded as an adventure to be taken lightly. However, lightly is just how Jim and Molly Moore took it and the story of their journey provides refreshing and amusing inspiration to all cruising sailors, actual or potential.
