Book Description
No one expected these thirty-something professionals to give up their successful careers to pilot their own small boat around the world, especially because they started with almost no boating experience. Instead of the expected sailboat, they chose a 43 foot trawler powerboat, which many believed was incapable of crossing oceans. Most people expected them to fail. But they surprised the skeptics when they successfully circumnavigated the globe in 2 years, visiting 110 places along the way in 34 countries. Part 2 of The Unexpected Circumnavigation journals Christi and Eric's travels to 21 fascinating destinations, ranging from popular to remote. You will feel what it is like to be on long sea passages, experience the local food and cultures and participate in unique tours and adventures, including SCUBA, exotic animals, nature's 600 foot tall "secret rooms" and villages untouched by modernization. Learn about the challenges, rewards, and surprises that come with both traveling and boating.

Category : Electronic books
Languages : en
Pages : 398

This book showcases current research into Indigenous and minority placenames in Australia and internationally.
