by Eric C. Hiscock

This classsic sailing narrative tells the story of Eric Hiscock and his wife, Susan, who in 1952 set out from Yarmouth, England, in their 30-foot sailing yacht Wanderer III. Just under three years later they arrived back at Yarmouth, having circled the globe by the way of the West Indies, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Ascension, and the Azores, with many other ports of call in route.

[Stephen Bywater · Rating 4 out of 5]

Powered through while teaching at Berkhamsted. Matter-of-fact circumnavigation though no political clout (South Africa in the 1950s and no mention of apartheid).
