Book Synopsis Cruising the World’s Oceans by : Kalman Dubov
Download or read book Cruising the World’s Oceans written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2021-12-19 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 25 September through 17 November 2016, I was fortunate to serve as the Rabbi aboard the Holland America flagship, Amsterdam. The ship embarked from Seattle, Washington, and at the journey's end, arrived in San Diego, California. Each port of call, from Vancouver, British Columbia, to the Hawaiian Islands, then to the deep Pacific, were all spectacular. Fiji, the French Polynesian islands of Tahiti, Mo'orea, Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, and Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, made the voyage a fantastic experience. I briefly review each location's 'history', and if applicable, Jewish history and presence, and then describe my visit. Each of these elements encapsulates another facet of this voyage. Of special meaning was my visit to the only Synagogue in the deep Pacific, Ahava v’Achvah, House of Love and Unity, in Papeete, Tahiti. Jewish passengers who accompanied me for the Friday evening Shabbat Service were enthralled by the beauty, warmth, consideration, and invitation of this small, but vibrant, Jewish community. The moments we spent with them were the high point for those who came for this time of worship and celebration. This voyage was a special time and I share these moments in this descriptive book.

Book excerpt: 'Ocean Passages and Landfalls' is a handbook for world cruisers. It provides invaluable passage-planning information for crossing the oceans, with discussions on climates, seasons, oceanography and the merits of different world cruising routes.

Details of formalities and regulations are then followed by essential information on key harbours and landfalls. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and enlarged and now features new sections on chosen areas and topics - the Atlantic Circuit or Cruising on Ice, for instance. Here the opportunity has been taken to provide more informal commentary and observations based on first-hand experience. These sections are illustrated by the author's colour photographs, many of which have been taken during the production of this new edition and sent in from far-flung parts of the oceans; Rod Heikell in the South Pacific and the Torres Strait, and Andy O'Grady in Brazil and the high latitudes of Chile.As an up-to-date reference for world cruising this new edition of 'Ocean Passages and Landfalls' sets the benchmark as both a practical reference and also as a book for dreamers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This cruising guide for ocean voyagers provides invaluable passage-planning information for tried and tested routes around the world.

Details of the expected formalities and regulations are followed by essential information on key landfalls, accompanied by the first-hand observations of well-known world sailors and authors Rod Heikell and Andy O’Grady. Text and plans have been updated for this third edition which is illustrated with a number of new photographs to inspire both dreamers and passagemakers. “I have recently been planning a voyage from Trinidad to New Zealand using Ocean Passages and Landfalls by Rod Heikell and Andy O'Grady. The book has been an exceptional resource. The mass of information on a wealth of subjects is excellent. The layout is beautifully put together and very accessible. The pilotage and chartlets will be invaluable. The book will certainly be travelling with me and I cannot recommend it highly enough to anybody who is planning ocean voyaging.” Theresa Kewell, S/Y Mr Blue ‘This is a ‘blue planet’ book. Its scope is awe-inspiring as it takes an overview of the globe as the yachtsman’s potential cruising ground… It is of course possible to glean all the macro information from scientific geophysical sources, but the personality and experience of the authors adds an indispensable ingredient.’ Yachting Monthly
Book Synopsis Future Sea by : Deborah Rowan Wright
Download or read book Future Sea written by Deborah Rowan Wright and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A counterintuitive and compelling argument that existing laws already protect the entirety of our oceans—and a call to understand and enforce those protections. The world’s oceans face multiple threats: the effects of climate change, pollution, overfishing, plastic waste, and more. Confronted with the immensity of these challenges and of the oceans themselves, we might wonder what more can be done to stop their decline and better protect the sea and marine life. Such widespread environmental threats call for a simple but significant shift in reasoning to bring about long-overdue, elemental change in the way we use ocean resources. In Future Sea, ocean advocate and marine-policy researcher Deborah Rowan Wright provides the tools for that shift. Questioning the underlying philosophy of established ocean conservation approaches, Rowan Wright lays out a radical alternative: a bold and far-reaching strategy of 100 percent ocean protection that would put an end to destructive industrial activities, better safeguard marine biodiversity, and enable ocean wildlife to return and thrive along coasts and in seas around the globe. Future Sea is essentially concerned with the solutions and not the problems. Rowan Wright shines a light on existing international laws intended to keep marine environments safe that could underpin this new strategy. She gathers inspiring stories of communities and countries using ocean resources wisely, as well as of successful conservation projects, to build up a cautiously optimistic picture of the future for our oceans—counteracting all-too-prevalent reports of doom and gloom. A passionate, sweeping, and personal account, Future Sea not only argues for systemic change in how we manage what we do in the sea but also describes steps that anyone, from children to political leaders (or indeed, any reader of the book), can take toward safeguarding the oceans and their extraordinary wildlife.

Book Synopsis Cruising the World’s Oceans by : Kalman Dubov
Download or read book Cruising the World’s Oceans written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My 14 days aboard the Noordam, a Holland America ship, was an exceptional voyaging experience. My invitation to join the voyage was at the invitation of the cruise line, whose request was because they wanted a Rabbi aboard the vessel. I soon learned that a large Jewish community was aboard. Families with young children were aboard because this was the winter holiday season. Older persons were aboard because they enjoyed cruising and the end-of-year opportunity afforded them the ability to be on the high seas during the holiday season. It was also the Jewish holiday of Chanukah, a time of rededication by kindling the lights and recalling the ancient miracle of the lights in the Jerusalem Temple. Of nearly 1,900 passengers, about 65 were Jewish and we enjoyed a wonderful cruise opportunity in the summer warmth of the South Pacific. The cruise began in Sydney Australia, cruising through the South Pacific to New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and Fiji. We visited ports at Nouméa, New Caledonia; Port Vila, Mystery Island and Luganville, Vanuatu. We then visited Fijian ports at Suva, Lautoka, and Dravuni Island. A high point of my time aboard this ship was meeting Gedaliah Oshlaske, a holocaust survivor. His incredible story of survival during World War Two is told here for the first time. Although he was asked by many people, including Steven Spielberg, to relate his personal account of that harrowing time, he refused to do so. During this cruise, for the first time, he shared a few of the details of his survival. I was both privileged and honored that he chose me to share the story. The story, however, is in its barest outline. What he shared was but in outline form, with much of the story yet to be shared. I hope the rest of the story will be shared so it may become part of the ongoing saga of this man's legacy of survival when the world was shrouded in much darkness. The time was engulfed in what Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, described as the kingdom of fire. I humbly offer this survivor's story to the reader fully aware that so much of the story is not yet told.
