"Rumbo al Pacífico Salvaje", con fotos a color, es la fascinante historia real del viaje de Randy y Rebecca Tisch desde Florida hasta Nueva Zelanda a bordo de su yate Argo. Está destinado a atraer tanto a navegantes como a quienes no lo son. La historia se desarrolla como una narración bellamente escrita, repleta de fotografías e ilustraciones llenas de color, que hacen que el lector sienta que está en un recorrido virtual por el mundo a bordo de un yate privado.
El capitán Tisch revive la emoción y la adrenalina de emprender una aventura tan grandiosa: primero describiendo los preparativos para zarpar y luego dando vida a sus estrategias de planificación, mientras se enfrentan al desafío del océano y experimentan la emoción de llegar a nuevos y exóticos puertos de escala. Este libro, en cierto sentido, es un cuaderno de viaje visto a través de los ojos de un capitán de barco, que relata tanto los aspectos culturales e históricos de cada país visitado, como permite al lector apreciar los aspectos de maniobra y navegación de un crucero en tierras lejanas y exóticas.
Tisch describe la ansiedad que acompaña la entrada a un atolón a través de su guantelete de arrecifes, mareas y corrientes. También relata, con electrizante detalle, la batalla contra una tormenta feroz justo frente a la costa de Nueva Zelanda, describiendo tanto los momentos aterradores como los sorprendentes de esas 13 horas de prueba. En otros capítulos, describe el estado del mar y el rendimiento del yate a motor durante la travesía de 18 días en mar abierto desde las Islas Galápagos hasta las Islas Marquesas.
El capitán Tisch ofrece al lector descripciones interesantes y vívidas de la flora y la fauna, la geología y la historia, y, lo más importante, de las personas que viven sus vidas en estos hermosos lugares. Las historias son tan diversas como el buceo en arrecifes en Fiyi, el apareamiento de tortugas gigantes en Galápagos y nadar con ballenas en Vava'u.
El viaje comienza en Stuart, Florida, y continúa cruzando la Corriente del Golfo hacia las Bahamas, luego al sur a través del Paso de los Vientos hasta Port Antonio, Jamaica; cruza el Mar Caribe hasta Santa Marta (así como Cartagena y Bogotá), en Colombia; pasa por el Canal de Panamá hacia las Galápagos; cruza 3.100 millas de mar abierto hasta las Islas Marquesas (Nuku Hiva, Ua Pou, Hiva Oa, Fatu Hiva y Tahuata); y sigue hacia el sur hasta Ahe, Tikehau y Rangiroa, en las Tuamotu; continúa hacia las Islas de la Sociedad: Tahití, Moorea, Huahine y Bora Bora; luego se dirige al oeste hasta Samoa, y al sur hasta Tonga y Nueva Zelanda.
Finalmente, Argo regresa a los Estados Unidos vía Fiyi y las islas Hawái, después de que a Randy le diagnostican un cáncer grave. El libro está bellamente escrito, es emocionante y muy entretenido de leer.
