Reaching Port: A Montana Couple Sails Around the World

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (13053 ratings)

Description:A Montana couple builds their own boat and sails around the world. The epic journey spans some six years and stretches to the far recesses of the globe: Raiatea, Pula We, Djibouti. In the end, Reaching Port is the story of two everyday people with an extraordinary dream and the tenacity to reach for it. Leaning back in the cockpit of our thirty-two-foot sailboat, gazing at the beautiful little island three hundred feet away, the thought went through my head that, in the wildest dreams we had ever had, never had we thought that we would ever be this close to heaven. Raiatéa, which has to be the most idyllic spot on this earth, was stretched out before us. Beautiful scenery, beautiful people, beautiful weather. How in the world did it ever happen? One day at home in Billings, Montana, Keith Jones asked his wife Rosemary how she'd like to take a trip around the world. She said "Yes!" with a vision of the Queen Mary. He, on the other hand, had the crazy idea of spending the next ten years building a wooden sailboat. Reaching Port is Keith and Rosie's tale of heroism and hilarity as they tackle the seven seas. It's seat-of-the-pants sailing at its best. Jones masterfully combines the ingredients of a fine sailing book–shipwrecks and near disasters, broken masts, and engines that won't start–with an ever-present sense of humor. For anchor slippage, for example, he recommends: Just before dropping of to sleep, turn to your wife and say, "Honey, I sure hope the anchor doesn't drag." Roll over and rest peacefully–the anchor will be checked every fifteen minutes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
