This story is about two people, born into the uncertainties of the 1939-1945 War, who fell in love with each other and with sailing and who, encouraged by the example of other seafarers, completed over a period of 50 years a circumnavigation of the world's favourite sailing destinations albeit missing out the long blue bits. The book contains anecdotes as well as practical advice ensuring it is a must-read for boat lovers as well as those yet to find their sea legs. There is seamanship on every page.
