Restless Passage: A Short Sea Story

by Richard Byhre

Overview

This true and gripping narrative takes you aboard Restless, a 29 ft. sloop, with Richard and Bonnie Byhre sailing to the South Pacific from San Francisco. You will share moments of drama aboard Restless as she is caught in a catagory-3 hurricane off Mexico and miraculously survives as she is drawn through the eye of the storm. Despite 120mph winds and 50ft seas, Restless survives to reach Tahiti only to be tragically shipwrecked later on a lonely Tongan island. Friendly natives take them in and nurse them back to health only to realize that the village Chief is reluctant to let them leave.

About the Author

About the author Richard Byhre:

I was raised on the waterfront in Washington's Puget Sound and soon became a sailor. In my youth I campaigned on several racing sloops on San Francisco Bay. In my later youth I have turned to wandering the oceans of the world with my bride Bonnie Lee. Five years, almost to the date of this story, my wife and I revisited Niau fo'ou and our friends there while completing a circumnavigation aboard our 36ft sloop, Windsong. I am a retired Electrical Engineer from California's silcon valley.
