This 25th anniversary edition includes a new foreword, new appendixes, and a color photo album showing Seraffyn during her circumnavigation and as she is today, 34 years later, taking her current owners on their first cruising adventures.
“Lin Pardey can draw a non-sailor into these special subjects and make them as comprehensible and absorbing to a landlubber as they would to someone about to set out.” ~ New York Times Book Review
“For more than three decades, the Pardeys have embodied the ultra-competent, self-sufficient ideal of bluewater voyaging, all the while reveling in and sharing with us the freedom of it all.” ~ Cruising World=Hall of Fame 2000
