"The Fifinella Log" - Author’s Journey Takes Him Round the World on 30-Ft. Boat

SYDNEY - March 9, 2016 - PRLog -- Ever dreamed of sailing the seven seas to wherever the winds may blow? Yachtsman Tom Edwards tells all about his four-and-a-half-year journey that took him through terrible storms and three hurricanes.

The author sailed his 30-foot boat Fifinella through weeks of drifting in energy-sapping heat, and into a two-day storm off the Bay of Plenty on the north coast of New Zealand. There his boat Fifi lost three foresails, two mainsails, the self-steering vane, reefing pawl, a forestay, and other pieces of onboard equipment.

But his is also a story of smooth sailing, meeting peoples from different cultures, trying all kinds of cuisines, and his crew picking their own breadfruit, bananas, and coconuts. He dived and spear-fished up the Great Barrier Reef, enjoying the beauty of the Australian coast.

“Sailing on my own from Darwin to Durban via Christmas Island, Cocos Keeling, Seychelles, and the Comoros gave me time for introspection; I hope I am a better man for it. We had no fancy equipment, no satellite navigation aids. Our radio was basic and our funds minimal. We had a compass and a plastic sextant, navigation tables, charts, and a star chart. The sea is unforgiving and does not tolerate carelessness or mistakes.” Sounds a lot like life.

About the Author: Born in Portsmouth, England, Tom Edwards currently lives in Wangi Wangi, New South Wales, Australia. He has written 10 books.
