After four years cruising the islands of the South Pacific, Doug Austin has come home to write this delightful book about his time cruising those islands. This is not a cruising guide but a guide to cruising the islands and all the wonderful places, people and sites each has to offer. Doug discusses not only boater's concerns such as communications, harbors, anchoring, finding food and water and blending in with the islanders, but how to truly enjoy the time spent in this beautiful cruising ground. He must have found the secret to that enjoyment or he wouldn't have spent four years Cruising The South Pacific. This is a book everyone will enjoy, from the long time bluewater sailor to the dreamer awaiting the day to cast off the lines.
