Book desription: Boston: Sail Books. Very Good- in Good+ dust jacket. c. 1980. Hardcover. 0914814249 . Very minor wear and soil on the sound binding. Minor foxing of endpapers and edges. Contents are almost like new. 1" tear in bottom edge of DJ's spine, otherwise minor wear on the clean, complete dust jacket. ; Light tan cloth, HARDCOVER. Brown lettering. Map endpapers. TRUE ADVENTURE. The bare outline of Payson's story is a familiar one: at middle age, a couple decides to depart work ashore and take up the cruising life. But the fleshing out of the story - a blend of uproarious mishaps and white-knuckled action - is pure Payson, as loyal followers In SAIL MAGAZINE will attest. In nearly seven years of South Pacific island-hopping, Payson not only has refined diverse boat-handling and boat-living skills, but has learned that adversity can be funny (to readers, anyway) . Payson is a sailor with the kind of hard-earned wisdom that only thousands of tough miles can confer, and his sage advice on the hows and how-nots of cruising is well worth heeding. His story, told with eloquence and humor, will surely rank as a classic of nautical literature. ; 9-1/4" Tall; 251 pages .
