Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this seventh and last book of the Series, Anne and Martin encounter some of the toughest and most dramatic challenges of their entire voyage, while at the same time experiencing exhilarating highs. Feel the sheer terror when they get caught in a giant fish net on the Arabian Sea; sail with them through the pirate infested waters of the Gulf of Aden into the dreaded Red Sea feared by sailors for its vicious head winds. Explore with them the mysteries of the Arab world with its mosques and minarets, macho men in long, white robes, veiled women in black abayas, camel crossings, crowded souks with exotic herbs and spices, fragrant perfumes and gold, frankincense and myrrh. Tour the desert accompanied by armed guards, experience traditional coffee ceremonies, witness poverty beyond belief and the last slave trading post in the world. Finally, Anne and Martin battle their way to the safety of the Suez Canal and Israel where they cross their own course from four years prior, receiving a hero's welcome and even meet Shimon Peres. Then, the adventurous couple are homeward bound after 9 fabulous years on the 7 seas! The books in the Seven Seas Adventures Series are not just any old travelogues for adventurers. Rather, it is a collection of highlights from encounters with "ordinary" people from different cultures and backgrounds who live a life much different from what most of us are used to. Anne and Martin certainly learned that what we take for granted is an elusive dream for others. The books "answer" a multitude of questions posed by travellers in general as well as prospective offshore sailors. At the peak of their careers, Anne Brevig and Martin Vennesland made the decision of their lives: they chose freedom and a highly uncertain future on the high seas instead of secure jobs and the safety and comfort of life ashore. In order to finance their dream, they sold their house and most of their belongings and moved onboard their 40-foot sailboat, "Nor Siglar". She became their one and only home for 15 years. Neither imagined that they were going to spend 9 years on the 7 seas and sail more than 56,000 nautical miles around the world! Anne and Martin's bluewater adventure was not about breaking any records. Its main focus was meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures - encounters that take on entirely different dimensions when sailing off the beaten track far away from the traditional tourist routes. Their 9-years on the 7 Seas circumnavigation onboard "Nor Siglar", which is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure packed with drama and excitement, has been documented in books and magazine articles and is now available in the "Seven Seas Adventures Series".

In this third book of the Series, "Nor Siglar" gets a major overhaul and her crew psyche themselves up for the Big Atlantic Crossing. After cruising the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, they set out from Antigua to Bermuda, a great trade wind sail till they are within 20 miles of the island, where they battle rough seas and reef strewn waters for 12 hours before making landfall in St. Georges Harbour. A tropical depression delays their departure, spooked by boats sinking and crews drowning ahead. Their own crossing is plagued by waterspouts, torn sails and freighters on collision course. After two weeks, they enjoy some R&R in the Azores. The last three weeks to Norway are uneventful apart from the English Channel where they battle fog, strong currents and busy shipping lanes, the most stressful challenge of their voyage. On making landfall in Halden, Anne and Martin reach their first goal of sailing to their old country on their own keel all the way from their new country, Canada. Next challenge: Living aboard during the coldest winter Norway has had for years! The books in the Seven Seas Adventures Series are not just any old travelogues for adventurers.

In this fourth book of the Seven Seas Adventures Series, Anne and Martin follow the wake of the Vikings across the North Sea and the dreaded Bay of Biscay, a formidable test of sea legs and endurance. They winter in Carmen's beautiful Seville and explore the spectacular anchorages of the Balearics, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and Greece where the intrepid sailors also battle levanters and mistrals, meltemis and sciroccos, finally getting respite in the sheltered bays of Turkey. In Israel, they go sightseeing through the Bible and in Tunisia, take a memorable desert safari. Nasty weather forces them into off-limits Algeria, where they are nearly robbed at gun point. Heading back across the Atlantic, they have to make an emergency stop in Morocco where the skipper ends up having a back operation. A month later, after many dramatic but heartwarming experiences, they complete the crossing. Back in San Blas, Anne and Martin get a heroes' welcome from the Kunas who remember them from six years earlier when they helped transport a dead man on "Nor Siglar's" deck to his burial, a unique incident which gave them experiences "ordinary tourists" would never gain access to.

In the first book of the Series, the career couple describe the planning, the panic and the last minute preparations before cutting the ties with jobs, home, friends and family and setting out to fulfill their dreams. They share their very first ocean passage, the exhilaration of making land fall, the many chores and routines onboard a small sailboat at sea, how they deal with seasickness, lonely night watches and nature's unforgiving elements so close by. The book is also about guns and patrol boats, "bandidos" and "friendly inspections", a close call with a freighter, chilling distress calls, rough weather, accidental jibes and injured crew, helpful natives, rickety docks and squalls in the night, enchanting encounters and trading with natives in remote villages deep in the Panamanian jungle. "Why are you rushing through Paradise?" squatters on a paradisiacal island asked, a question which became a motto for Anne and Martin during the rest of their voyage.
