The Chronicles of the Schooner Lusty I

A Sail Around the World in Search of Tropical Isles and the Green Flash

Buch

This true adventure started in 1969, with a casual remark between two friends having coffee. It was a dreary April afternoon at the University of Washington cafeteria in Seattle. Let's buy a boat and sail to the South Pacific. Well, with almost insurmountable difficulties, that's exactly what happened.The voyage lasted almost ten years and covered more than 30,000 nautical miles. The boat was the Lusty I, a classic two-masted wooden sailing schooner.

Über den Autor


Mike Williams grew up in the Seattle area and at the age of twenty dropped out of school and journeyed to New York and subsequently Europe. He returned two years later to finish University, but not being very career-minded or a particularly good student, when the opportunity to go sailing came along he jumped at the chance. As he said, It just felt like the right thing to do. After the years circumnavigating, Mike was never really able to settle back into a day job and a conventional life style. As a result, a good part of the last thirty or so years has been spent living overseas, and most of that time has been in Thailand. While the expat life suits him well, a few months every year are spent back in the Pacific Northwest at the old log cabin on Whidbey Island he calls his summer home.
