Overview

Even as a teenager, John Beattie felt drawn to the ocean, but it was 25 years before his dreams of sailing the globe in his 35-foot yacht Warrior Queen could begin to come true. His voyage began in England and continued to the South American coast and into the depths of the rainforests via uncharted tributaries. The adventure reached a stirring climax during his return voyage from Venezuela. One day at dawn, hundreds of miles from land, he spotted a man dying of thirst aboard a drifting open boat, a man given one last slender chance to live.

John Beattie is like a lot of people who are bitten by the bug to go cruising. He doesn't have much experience at the outset, but he has a dream: to sail around the world. Sparked by a book he read as a child, the dream nurtured over 20 years, he finally decides to take the plunge, get some sailing experience, buy a boat, and go. -- Coastal Cruising Coastal Cruising, October/Novemeber 1998
