Book Description
This is the story of Bernard and Françoise Moitessier's honeymoon voyage from Europe to the Pacific and back by way of Cape Horn. Setting out from Tahiti, they took the 'logical route' back because it was the fastest, but then they faced the Roaring Forties, relentless gale-force winds, and iceberg territory. It is a mariner's guide to the pleasures and perils of sailing the Trade Winds, the archipelagos of the Pacific, and the Cape Horn route including preparation suggestions and the sailing survival knowledge that made the Moitessier's voyage successful and joyous.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This is one of those books that ough to be in every sailor library. It might seem outdated for these days, and the Moitessier's style might seem too "poetic" even surreal, but we are talking of a real pioneer of the sea
