Overview

For anyone who has considered spending their retirement sailing, this book has plenty of advice. Even at a young age both Sylvia and I wanted to sail the oceans of the world and when that chance came we didn't hesitate. We sold all we owned to enable us to experience different cultures and the beauty of the South Pacific. Along the way we met other cruisers of all age groups and nationalities, so it seems for us the sea has become a great leveller. Our voyage began with optimism for us both and we were aware of the dangers ahead. We started from Tauranga on the east coast of the North Island in the Bay of Plenty and sailed up to the Kerikeri Marina in Bay of Islands, then after careful preparation Sun Chaser and crew left New Zealand bound for the Fijian Islands. Whilst sailing around these colourful islands we encountered things both good and bad. We found corruption and theft but also the abundant wild life that most people only see on TV or read about. We learned a lot and have included many handy hints at the back of the book. Full colour photos throughout.
