They were headed for Fremantle, but they forgot to turn right at Kangeroo Island and arrived in Hobart. It was an easy navigational error to make. Once in Hobart, in order to avoid an almost global pandemic, they remained in Tasmania. After all, Tasmania is at the end of the world, and even a virus wouldn't want to go there.

Two retired American high school teachers, former Peace Corps Volunteers, have sailed their 35 foot Nauticat sailboat from the US to the Caribbean, across the Atlantic, through the Mediterranean to Turkey. We begin this third book of the trilogy in 2008, with again launching our 35 foot sailboat Tapestry. We, along with 80 other boats, explore the Turkish Coast, Cyprus, and Syria, before the storm. Imagine Le Krak des Cehvaliers, a huge crusader castle, and the oasis of Palmyra, before the uprising and before they were vandalized, nearly destroyed.

"When does a man quit the sea?" asked E.B. White. "Does he quit while he's ahead, or wait till he makes some major mistake?" Skipper and the crew seem to thrive pushing for the latter. Sailing alongside killer whales. Flying the Canadian flag upside down while coasting blithely into Victoria. Debating who gets left behind the day they have to squeeze into the three-man lifeboat. Interrogated by the US Coast Guard. Running aground. Losing themselves in blinding sea fog. Standing rapt beneath Taps' benediction as the American flag retires in Roche Harbor.

Die Welt des Bretonen Guirec Soudée ist das Meer. Aufgewachsen auf einer winzigen Insel, schmeißt er mit sechzehn die Schule, um seinen Traum von einer Weltumsegelung zu verwirklichen. Auf einem Fischkutter verdient er sich das Geld für Yvinec, ein dreißig Jahre altes Segelboot. Er restauriert es liebevoll, dann sticht er in See. Seine Begleitung an Bord: die fidele Monique - ein rotbraunes Huhn. Gemeinsam segeln sie über den Atlantik, erkunden Grönland, kämpfen sich 130 Tage durch Packeis und queren die Nordwestpassage, bevor sie gen Süden fahren.

En 1988, hace ahora 28 años, cinco españoles, Kitín Muñoz, director de expedición, Kiko Botana, navegante, Pepe de Miguel, cámara de televisión, Juan Ginés García, teniente del ejército y responsable de logística y comunicaciones y yo, como fotógrafo y "conseguidor", realizamos una de las mayores proezas de la historia de la navegación actual: navegar en una balsa de totora, construida por los indios aimaras del Lago Titicaca, desde el puerto del Callao en Perú hasta la isla de Nuku-Hiva, en el Archipiélago de las Marquesas y posteriormente hacia la isla de Tahití, en el Archipiélago de la Sociedad.

Segeln mit Humor: Geschichten aus dem Logbuch eines Charterskippers. Eine Seefahrt, die ist lustig - und wer jahrelang im Chartergeschäft tätig ist, weiß viel zu erzählen. Tausende Touristen buchen jährlich eine Charterreise und sorgen bei ihren Gastgebern oft genug für Schmunzeln, Staunen und verzweifeltes Haareraufen. In "Könnt ihr mal das Segel aus der Sonne nehmen" erzählt Autor und Segelredakteur Johannes Erdmann vom schmalen Grat zwischen Skipperdasein und Animateurskunst.

Imagine spending 24 hours a day with your spouse in 31 not-so-square feet for years, crossing the Pacific Ocean on two gallons of fuel, and tossing spaghetti marinara around your living room then cleaning it up while bouncing like ice in a martini shaker. Tightwads on the Loose tells the story of Wendy and Garth, lured to sea by the promise of adventure. They buy a 31-foot boat that fits their budget better than it fits Garth's large frame and set sail on an open-ended voyage, never imagining they'd be gone seven years or cover 34,000 miles at the pace of a fast walk.

Von der Landratte zum Segeljunkie: Das ist die Kurzfassung der vergangenen 8 Jahre im Leben des 45-jährigen Guido Dwersteg. Es beginnt ganz harmlos mit dem Mitsegeln bei Freunden und endet mit einer Einhand-Atlantikrunde. Über diese Reise um den Atlantik hat Dwersteg nun ein Buch geschrieben. Gerade einmal seit 5 Jahren hatte der Koblenzer Guido Dwersteg seinen ersten Segelschein in der Tasche, als er im Februar 2012 mit seinem Segelboot "Carpe Diem" von der Ostsee-Insel Fehmarn zu einer Atlantikrunde startete.

You will be challenged and inspired as you join Neville on board for this real-life, white-knuckle adventure on the high seas....A magnificent account of courage and perseverance as a young doctor takes time off from his busy practice to sail a 31' yacht (single-handed much of the way) from England to New Zealand.

Falling is a sobering, amusing, and often poetic meditation on the wonders and risks of working aloft. Rigger Brion Toss takes you into a world of masts, towers, stadiums, pure air, and adrenaline as he recounts more than 40 years worth of stories of things gone awry at altitude. From dropped tools to collapsed towers to near-fatal falls, the litany of accidents and near-accidents is long…and the sometimes miraculous outcomes are both instructive and thought-provoking.

Tired of California's glitzy lifestyle, greed, and urban sprawl, Captain Skip Rowland sells everything to drift and blend in the drop dead beauty of the South Pacific. But before casting-off, his yacht is stolen and set ablaze on a desolate Mexican shore. Skip, recently in the USMC, captures the thieves, sailing later in a new yacht with his son and nurse girlfriend. They accidentally sail into an active military coup d'état, are chased by a vagabond freighter, make love on picture-perfect uninhabited islands, and cross the Tasman Sea to Australia in the worst weather in 100 years.

After being diagnosed with a rare, usually fatal cancer, Alder Allensworth made a miraculous recovery and took on a sailing journey most would only dream of. Having lost one eye to cancer, Alder dedicated herself to this 1,200-mile trip to raise money and awareness for sailors with disabilities, and quickly realized that sailing the 12-foot Prevail from Florida to Maine presented a whole new set of challenges that she had never encountered before, even on the water. Prevail: Celebrate the Journey follows Alder’s story from her diagnosis through her sailing expedition.

Sailing and adventuring on Puget Sound has been a part of my life since I was at least eight years old. I grew up in Edmonds, Washington, and lived with a view of Admiralty Inlet. I had a 25-foot Coronado sailboat in the harbor. Adventures with my father included trips to the US San Juan Islands and the South Puget Sound. My affinity for the water never faltered. Nowadays, at 58 years old, and despite numerous heath issues, I still love mud mucking around Southern Puget Sound.

Solo circumnavigation of the globe. Fewer than 300 sailors in history have accomplished it, less than the number of people who have climbed Mt. Everest, or even those who have gone to space. In 1990, Istvan Kopar set out to earn his place among this elite fraternity - and to do so with only one stop.
