Klaus Gehrig's amusing and introspective account of circumnavigating the globe in his thirty-foot schooner (with only a ten-horsepower motor for back-up, and a sextant and compass for navigation) gives ocean sailing a whole new meaning. His and Marie-JosÔe's adventures from the kava houses to the customs houses - experiencing the sensuous pleasures of the South Sea Islands, fighting bureaucratic battles in Australia, and being the first Caucasians to visit a remote Fiji village - provide an enriching and entertaining interlude for anyone awaiting fair winds for a meaningful life.
