Synopsis
This is a book of practical experiences gained from Atlantic crossings with advise based upon authentic decisions, experiences, pleasures and pains. Intended for novices, unsure whether they will live up to life offshore, to experts, interested in how others handled ocean conditions and with what success, and, to dreamers, who one day might make the big leap. Here are insights into the social as well as nautical reality of fitting out, the comfort of highly detailed plans, the norm of impulsive decisions, the inside story of life with a crew, coping with unexpected gales and calms, the real meaning of GPS, the live-or-die decisions to keep watches or not, close encounters with dolphins, whales and unlit fishing boats, the dreadful pulse of rhythmic rolling and the ports of call from Spain to Tobago via the Atlantic islands and west Africa.

About the Author
Les Weatheritt is a research economist who has been trying to get back to the Caribbean since he was a deck-hand on a schooner there at the age of 21. In 1985 he bought Petronella with the intention of trying an ocean voyage. He aborted his trip to the Azores that year after problems and spent the next decade sailing between Scandinavia and Spain. In 1994/5 he sailed the Atlantic with a crew. Petronella is still in the Caribbean and he is in no hurry to sail her back.
