Review:
"The best sailboat cruising book to come out in a long time."
"Far from simply amusing, this first-person narration by Jim Moore tells about a couple with no sailing experience but a commitment to a long-term dream and an addiction to the sea. . . The book is filled with practical knowledge and ingenious do-it-yourself tips for all amateur sailors."
"An amusing, educational and inspiring cruising narrative."
"Two months after getting married, Jim Moore burst through the door and said, 'We're going to build a boat and sail it to the South Pacific!' That was in June 1972, and his excitement stemmed from a small newspaper advertisement that a local builder would deliver a 29-, 36-, or 42-foot boat in any stage of completion." -- The Ensign "The Ensign, April 1997"
