"I would like now to write a practical book that will cover three topics: boats, the sea, and the beachcombing life." These were the thought of Bernard Moitessier after he finished writing his last book, Tamata and the Alliance, while in Polynesia. The great master died in 1994 and never completed the book, but here it is, meticulously collected from hus many writings, published and unpublished, by his companion Véronique Lerebours Pigeonnière. Moitessier's notebooks include all the know-how and the 1001 tips of this legendary sailor, the knowledge he acquired on the water, in meeting with sailors, during long passages, and during his many years living on various islands. The first part of the book details how to prepare for an extensive cruise, what kind of boat to choose, the rigging, the sails, the anchors, on deck and below deck. The second part describes the passage: the weather, navigation, watch-keeping, and heavy weather. In the third part, Moitessier takes us to the South Sea islands and shows how to adapt to living on an atoll, gardening, fishing and attaining self-sufficiency.

If you have ever sat in your office cubby with its close walls and phony corporate tin-soldiers around you, or hated your day-to-day same-old box-stacking job and daydreamed about sailing away to the land of white beaches, coconut palms, turquoise waters and cool rum drinks, then this book is for you. It's about a disillusioned young man who casts off the lines that tie him down like Gulliver, and chases his dreams south to the warm waters of the Caribbean in search of a new life. Captain Nate Williams' adventure begins where such daydreams leave off. Approaching middle age alone, and feeling that his life has become a monotonous dead-end with a clock forever ticking down, he becomes fascinated by the idea of escaping to sea after meeting with a solo circumnavigator who has just returned from an around-the-world voyage alone. Nate becomes obsessed with what the sailor has learned, and how it has seemingly changed his life. Sailing away represents freedom, a break-out, a refreshing change, if only he can take the big step. He's haunted by his past, by remembrances and echoes of people who have gone, and he fears growing old and dying in obscurity without ever having truly lived. As a youth, he was captivated by the great adventure books like the Bounty trilogy. He dreams of exotic destinations; he wants to make a radical change in his life. Captain Nate has sailed to many places delivering boats, but these delivery boats were never his own boat. Nate can't afford a fancy new sailboat or yacht to carry him away on his dreamed-of adventure, so he finds an old but sturdy wooden sailboat and, applying the lessons that his late boatbuilding Grandfather had taught him, re-built her himself, making her seaworthy and ready for the open sea. Captain Nate departs from his native New England heading to Bermuda, and then continues on to the Caribbean islands where he meets new and interesting friends and fellow sea-vagabond characters. He meets with storms, danger, and other hazards along the way, eventually finding romance with a girl from the islands, only to ultimately learn the true meaning of loss, and ultimately redemption, wisdom, and understanding of his place in the world and on the sea. He seeks a life, at first, without consequences and 'to be needed nowhere'; and later learns that he has not conquered the sea, but as many learn from their experiences surviving a passage across the mighty ocean, that he has, as a fellow sailor puts it, been 'allowed to pass.' Nate lives the dream that many of us share but never realize, setting out to explore, discover, and experience everything that can while life and a tiny spark of optimism still abide in his heart and soul. If you share such daydreams, this book and Captain Nate will take you there, through storms, a hurricane, wild beach bars and fights, crazy danger, lovable characters, and more.

Excerpt from A Vagabond's Odyssey: Being Further Reminiscences of a Wandering Sailor-Troubadour in Many Lands "The path to hell is paved with good intentions." Looking reflectively over this second instalment of my autobiography, I perceive that I am such a genuine vagabond that I have even travelled along in my reminiscences without caring for the material niceties of recognised literary method; so I have gone back over the whole track and tried earnestly to polish my efforts. It seems quite unnecessary for vagabonds to wear (metaphorically speaking) old trousers with fringed ends to the legs, penniless pockets, dusty boots, an unshaven face and dirty collar, or to give vent to the devil-may-care utterances and all the ungrammatical "politeness" of the phraseology of the grog shanty and bush hotels, when they attempt to live over again on paper the tale of their wandering life. I cannot reform the world into a population of convivial beachcombers, nor would I if I could, out of consideration for future vagabonds, who naturally want the outer spaces of the world for their special province. Neither can I make you believe I could have done better in a literary sense if I had taken more trouble with my book. But I can to some extent reform myself, and at least strive to compete with the literary aristocrats on the slopes of their own cultivated ground. I am sure they will make good company if I succeed, and they will have been my best friends. Yes, I half believe in jumping out of bed on a cold night to hold a candle to the devil! I know that sometimes while you stand shivering you discover that he's really not such a bad fellow, and the candlelight is likely to give you a glimpse of some faint resemblance in his wrinkled face, some far-off expression of that beautiful old life that he lived ere he sinned, became respectable and fell banished from heaven.

75th anniversary edition of the timeless New Zealand classic of adventure at sea. Johnny Wray's gripping and often hilarious account of his adventures around the South Pacific has inspired readers and changed lives since its first publication 75 years ago. Fired from his day job during the Great Depression, Johnny begged, borrowed and stole the materials to build his famous yacht Ngataki. With some mates for company and a sextant to steer by, he set sail for the palm-fringed atolls and islands of his dreams - to discover they really did exist. But South Sea Vagabonds is much more than just a ripping yarn; it is a heartfelt hymn to the possibility of living a free life and truly being the master of one's own destiny.
