Synopsis
Answering all of the important questions, this book attempts to allay and novices' fears - not just about how to sail an ocean and survive - but also how to sail one and enjoy it. 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 live-or-die decision to keep watches or not and the ports 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.
