"""The reader can't help but mourn the loss of the ship and the crew's improvised lifestyle, as well as feel the joy, danger, and discovery that the author experienced and never forgot.""--Booklist ""The story takes readers through Hurricane Kendra, civil unrest in Latin America, the arrest of the entire crew (twice), dengue fever, and a near mutiny. . . . Sailing to the Far Horizon is also a travelogue of the type of adventures many boaters dream of: gatherings with the Cuna Indians in the Gulf of San Blas, discovering ancient tikis in the Marquesas.""--Soundings ""The human stories embedded in this book, poignant and painful, reveal the way that a ship boils people down to their essentials. You really get at the heart of who someone is on a voyage, even before you add the defining element of tragedy.""--Jim Delgado, Vancouver Maritime Museum and host of National Geographic Television's The Sea Hunters"
