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. Climates and weather patterns, currents, seasons and timings are key to selecting routes, but just as important is knowing something about the countries that you will arrive in. 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

Download or read book At the Butcher Counter of Life written by Janet Parmely and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Life is like a butcher counter." That's what they told her at the pub. "You can have whatever you want. You just have to ring the bell." But suppose you don't know what to order when you step up to the butcher counter of life? What then? Chances are, the universe will hand over what you need instead. She turned fifty and promptly became obsolete overnight. Her nest emptied. The doctors who had employed her for twenty years retired. She gave up on the confirmed-bachelor love of her life. She made a midcourse correction and married in haste. To fix that rash decision, Janet Parmely made another and answered an ad, "We Have Sixty Million Sheep but We're Short on Audiologists." She got the job. As muddled and full of puff, wind, and rabbit tracks as a teenager, this seeker boarded a plane for New Zealand. Her one-year contract turned into a ten-year journey without a compass, buffeted by her aging parents and entangled with a riddle of a seafaring man. What started as a tap on the shoulder by the Big Five-O would end with shipping a baby grand piano across the world -- twice -- and reaping a greater respect for the horsepower of hope. Part quest, part essay, part travelogue, part love story, this memoir is told with humor and wit, steeped in the allure of the Land of the Long White Cloud, New Zealand.

Book excerpt: Fifty-five islands, nineteen countries, seventeen thousand miles ... and one amazing adventure. A fascinating story of four sailors who discovered the magic of the South Pacific ... and the islands time forgot After recovery from a serious illness, Graham Morse vowed to achieve his dream of sailing across the South Pacific with his wife, Janet, and reliving the adventures of his boyhood heroes, Captain Cook, Thor Heyerdahl, and Christian Fletcher. They had expected to find some of the most beautiful islands in the world, and were not disappointed. But they were surprised to find a world where life has changed very little in two hundred years, and where the people have very different values than his own society, and however poor, take pleasure in giving. But sadly it is a world on the cusp of change. Travel with them as they discover the mysteries of ancient Polynesian culture, are welcomed into the homes of humble people, meet fascinating characters, are invited to village feasts, work with black pearl farmers, and swim with seals, sharks, and whales. The voyage --which took them across the world's largest ocean --was not without its dangers, incident, and tragedy. The Islands Time Forgot is not just for sailors who yearn to make such a voyage, but for all armchair travelers who have dreamed about the South Pacific that only a sailing boat can reach.

Book excerpt: In 1806 the English privateer Port au Prince anchored in the South Pacific kingdom of Tonga, seeking food and help. Instead, they were attacked by the Tongans. Half the crew was massacred and thrown to the sharks; the rest were enslaved. Fourteen-year-old William Mariner was adopted into the family of Finau 'ulukalala, the powerful and charismatic king of the islands. Mariner spent four years in Tonga, participating in Finau's wars, managing a plantation, and learning all he could of the language, customs, history, and politics of the Tongan people. After he returned to England in 1810, he met Dr. John Martin, who took down his story and published his remarkable tale. This edition is a reprint of both volumes of the complete text of the Third Edition of the book, published in Edinburgh in 1827.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...of water, and off they will float to the coral belt, where the day will pass quickly, with everybody laughing and chatting as only coral islanders can, while they collect the shining snails, or spear other kinds of fish hidden among the coral fretwork. Early in the afternoon, they will return to camp. Here some will clean and cook the tripang, while others will prepare the evening meal. This dispatched, large fires will be made a little way from the huts; the mats will be spread on the ground, and there, lying upon their backs, will these light-hearted people while away the evening telling stories of phantom ships, of terrible ghosts and goblins, of daring adventures, and of voyages to wonderful lands far away. And possibly the evening will end with a dance on the smooth white sand, in the light of the full moon. In this peaceful, harmless manner will the fishers of the Chief Dog-fish work out the six moons for Captain Longbeard--provided Chief Dog-fish is worthy of their confidence, and Captain Longbeard proves not to be one of the insufferable white villains who have for years been the scourge of the South Pacific. The best mode of collecting beche-de-mer from a coral reef is for the fisher, as he walks along the reef, to trail behind him a little punt of boards, or a light canoe, and into it throw the fish as he picks them up. When the punt is full, he tows it out to deep water, where its contents are transferred to a more commodious craft employed for the purpose. Its cargo complete, the latter straightway steers for camp, the crew busily disemboweling the slugs on the way. At camp, they are quickly removed to shore and cooked without delay, for this reason--it is a remarkable peculiarity of the strange mollusks that so long as they...
