Book excerpt: In this book Alice describes the many adventures of sailing across the Pacific Ocean with her husband, Dan. Before leaving they spent seventeen summers sailing and coastal cruising in a succession of sailboats ranging in size from 10 to 30 feet. In 1981 they purchased Shaula, a sturdy 28 foot cruising sailboat. Their first ocean passage from Seattle to Hawaii nearly ended their dreams of ocean sailing. Three years later they took a wonderful two-year Pacific cruise, and became converts to the cruising lifestyle.They retired in their mid-fifties, sold their car and most of their belongings, and sailed to the South Pacific on an extended cruise. They visited Mexico, French Polynesia, Rarotonga, Niue, Tonga, New Zealand, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and finally Australia.The book tells of delightful weeks of trade wind sailing, including spectacular sunsets and star-filled skies. During their passages they enjoyed delicious meals of fresh tuna, wahoo, and mahi mahi caught on a line trailing behind the boat. Alice describes fabulous times with fellow cruisers, celebrating landfalls, sharing potlucks and meals on board, and exploring ashore.They had fascinating visits with friendly Pacific Islanders, learning about their culture and enjoying wonderful feasts on shore. Their favorite cruising grounds were the Banks Islands of Vanuatu, which they visited several times over a seven-year period. They were entranced by the gentle, friendly people on these small islands.During their cruise they dealt with cockroaches and rats on board, and going aground on sandbanks in the shallow waters of Australia. They experienced engine trouble, gear failure, gale force winds, huge seas, and a rogue wave.Their marriage survived through fifteen years of living and cruising on a small boat. After returning home to Seattle they continue to sail every summer in Shaula to their favorite cruising grounds of Desolation Sound.

Book excerpt: The South Seas charts the idea of the South Seas in popular cultural productions of the English-speaking world, from the beginnings of the Western enterprise in the Pacific until the eve of the Pacific War. Building on the notion that the influences on the creation of a text, and the ways in which its audience receives the text, are essential for understanding the historical significance of particular productions, Sean Brawley and Chris Dixon explore the ways in which authors’ and producers’ ideas about the South Seas were “haunted” by others who had written on the subject, and how they in turn influenced future generations of knowledge producers. The South Seas is unique in its examination of an array of cultural texts. Along with the foundational literary texts that established and perpetuated the South Seas tradition in written form, the authorsexplore diverse cultural forms such as art, music, theater, film, fairs, platform speakers, surfing culture, and tourism.

Download or read book The White Headhunter written by Nigel Randell and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2004-11-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1868, Jack Renton, a teenage Scots sailor, was shanghaied in San Francisco. In 1876, he was rescued from captivity on the Pacific island of Malaita, home to a fearsome tribe of headhunters. After the rescue, in a sensational best-selling memoir, Renton recounted his eight-year adventure: how he jumped ship and drifted two thousand miles in an open whaleboat to the Solomon Islands, came ashore at Malaita, was stripped of his clothes, possessions and his very identity, but lived to serve the island's tribal chief Kabou eventually as his most trusted adviser. For all the authenticity and riveting detail, however, it turns out that Renton's chronicle glossed over key events that made him the man that Kabou said he loved, "as my first-born son." Mining the oral history passed down in detail from generations of Malaitans, documentary filmmaker Nigel Randell spent seven years piecing together a more complete and grislier account of Renton's experience—as a man forced to assimilate in order to survive. While The White Headhunter is the story of a man transformed by an island, it is also the story of a man who transformed the island as he prepared it for the onslaught of Western civilization.

Book excerpt: IT WAS the middle of a bright tropical afternoon that we made good our escape from the bay.The vessel we sought lay with her main-topsail aback about a league from the land, and was the onlyobject that broke the broad expanse of the ocean.On approaching, she turned out to be a small, slatternly-looking craft, her hull and spars a dingyblack, rigging all slack and bleached nearly white, and everything denoting an ill state of affairsaboard. The four boats hanging from her sides proclaimed her a whaler. Leaning carelessly over thebulwarks were the sailors, wild, haggard-looking fellows in Scotch caps and faded blue frocks; someof them with cheeks of a mottled bronze, to which sickness soon changes the rich berry-brown of aseaman's complexion in the tropics.On the quarter-deck was one whom I took for the chief mate. He wore a broad-brimmedPanama hat, and his spy-glass was levelled as we advanced.When we came alongside, a low cry ran fore and aft the deck, and everybody gazed at us withinquiring eyes. And well they might. To say nothing of the savage boat's crew, panting withexcitement, all gesture and vociferation, my own appearance was calculated to excite curiosity. Arobe of the native cloth was thrown over my shoulders, my hair and beard were uncut, and Ibetrayed other evidences of my recent adventure. Immediately on gaining the deck, they beset me onall sides with questions, the half of which I could not answer, so incessantly were they put.As an instance of the curious coincidences which often befall the sailor, I must here mentionthat two countenances before me were familiar. One was that of an old man-of-war's-man, whoseacquaintance I had made in Rio de Janeiro, at which place touched the ship in which I sailed fromhome. The other was a young man whom, four years previous, I had frequently met in a sailorboarding-house in Liverpool. I remembered parting with him at Prince's Dock Gates, in the midstof a swarm of police-officers, trackmen, stevedores, beggars, and the like.

Book excerpt: ALL ABOARD THAT'S GOING ABROAD! Plunge into the treacherous South Seas with Sailor Jack in this thrilling maritime saga aboard the steamer ship Queen of the Waves as it makes the perilous journey to Melbourne. Jack, our hero, having repented of a prodigal past of drinking and ungodliness, now faces multiple tests of his courage and faith. When a mate tumbles overboard, Jack's instantaneous act of bravery-diving fearlessly into the rough seas-displays his growing trust in God. Then, amidst the chaos of an even greater tragedy, one that threatens every life on board, his unshaken resolve demonstrates a deepening trust in Christ that amazes everyone on board.Jack's heroism and conviction do not escape the notice of a wealthy cynic making the journey, a Mr. Wynards, whose life is forever changed by witnessing Jack's genuine commitment to his beliefs under life-threatening perils. Inspired by a trust in God that emboldens such selfless courage, Wynards begins to question his own values and priorities. Through their frequent conversations, Mr. Wynards reflects on Jack's Christ-centered answers regarding the true meaning of life and the wisdom Jack has gleaned from his godly father who waits patiently and prayerfully back home for the safe return of his dear son. Wynard is so deeply impressed by the transformative power of Christ evidenced by Jack's faithful Christian life that he earnestly reevaluates his lifelong beliefs and embarks upon his own personal journey of faith.Come join us on this gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, and salvation as Sailor Jack and his crew battle against the relentless Indian Ocean, their fate at times hanging by a thread. With each crashing wave and looming peril, the power of faith will leave you breathless. Brace yourself for an awe-inspiring literary adventure demonstrating the transformative power of Christ, and God's enduring grace. It will leave an indelible mark on your soul.
