Synopsis
This is more than the story of a voyage. It is the story of Bernard and Francoise MoitessierAs honeymoon voyage from Europe to the islands of the Pacific and back by way of Cape Horn. Setting out from Tahiti, they took the alogical routeA back because it was the fastest, taking them through the Roaring Forties, through the high attitudes of relentless gale-force winds, and through iceberg territory. Their survival was due to great seamanship, careful preparation, and perhaps also their sense of harmony with JOSHUA and the sea.

Bernard Moitessier was one of the worldAs great small-boat sailors, and he displays his skills and knowledge in this book. He writes
