Delma had never really shown much inclinationto sail in a cruising yacht outside the confinesof the harbor. She viewed sailing "out there"with something akin to horror. So why did shesuddenly suggest sailing across the Arafura Seato a remote group of islands in the far-easternregion of Indonesia?This is a story by the Skipper of an 8 tonne, 30-foot cruising yacht describing an open-watervoyage with four crew members, two of whomhad virtually no sailing experience.The Skipper's view of the incidents and eventsfrom the preparation phase until they returned back to Australia is laced with humor, and delightfully describes the places they sailed, characters they met, local cultures and alittle history of the region. The experience of enduring a heavy storm at sea should not bemissed.Charts allow the reader to follow the expedition closely. Cruising Notes containingnavigational and useful information are included together with a selection of photographs.A comprehensive glossary gives an excellent explanation of such things as nautical distances, speed, boat lengths, depths, wind and compass directions.
