Year: 2002 Language: english Author: Billing S. Genre: History Publisher: Sheridan House ISBN: 1574091379 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 260 Description: Even though my good friends Peter afid Shirley Billing had always been keen sailors, nevertheless it came as quite a surprise to everyone when they decided to sell up and undertake a passage to Australia. It was a brave decision to make. Little did any of us think they would still be cruising in 1998. Peter and Shirley left St Katharine's Dock in March 1983. Over the subsequent years they have virtually circumnavigated the world apart from the short 1500 mile sector between Cyprus and Ibiza to link up with their original outbound track. They plan to complete this final leg during 1999. They have completed over 55,000 miles of ocean cruising which is a considerable achievement in its own right. They have kept family and friends in touch with their travels and experiences by sending a regular series of highly interesting and informative newsletters. You read the letters over and over again — and waited for the next issue to arrive. These letters have provided an excellent basis for this book. One particular quote sticks in my mind — the Billings definition of "togetherness" is "being seasick simultaneously over the side holding hands". When sailing up the Red Sea in 1996 they anchored in the right place, but at the wrong time. The story of their arrest, interrogation and transport across the desert to Assab for further questioning is unusual. However, the ominous flight to Asmara on one way tickets under false names is the stuff of fiction and not the normal cruising story. This book expresses the experiences, frustrations and enjoyment involved in ocean cruising together with some astute observations about the many places and peoples visited.
