Year: 1992 Language: english Author: Paul Lutus Genre: Other Publisher: Lulu Press, Inc. Edition: 1 ISBN: 1435710274 Format: DOCx Quality: eBook Pages count: 208 Description: An account of a four-year solo circumnavigation in a 31-foot sailboat. In 1988, I sailed away from the West coast of the United States in a 31-foot sailboat. This is my story — my account of a 3 1/2-year around the world solo sail. What would you have done? I didn't expect to be on the bow of my little boat, changing sails, when the big wave came and tried to wash me into the sea. I was several days' sail west of Fiji in the South Pacific, at a time of year when the sea is supposed to be calm and predictable. Several hours before, my two-way radio had come to life -- "Sailing vessel Selene, this is Take Two, how do you copy?" I recognized my friend Ursula's voice -- I talked to her on the radio each day since we met in French Polynesia several months before. Ursula and her mate Bob were sailing around the world on Take Two, a fast German boat. But this wasn't our normal time to chat, and Ursula sounded worried, so I picked up the microphone. "Take Two, this is Selene, you are loud and clear, what's up?" She responded, "We've just picked up a weather warning from New Zealand -- there's a storm coming with 50 knot winds!"
