RESUMEN DEL LIBRO:
‘This is a book about mystical communion, with a boat, with the water and the weather, with the creatures of the sea … I’d sooner read Moitessier than any other nautical writer alive’ Jonathan Raban. This is the story of Bernard and Francoise Moitessier’s honeymoon voyage from Europe to the islands of the Pacific and back by way of Cape Horn. Setting out from Tahiti, they took the ‘logical route’ because it was the fastest, taking them through the Roaring Forties, through the high latitudes of never ceasing gale-force winds, and through iceberg territory. Their survival was due to careful preparation, great seamanship, and perhaps also their sense of harmony with their boat, Joshua, and the sea. It is a classic of nautical literature.

INDICE DEL LIBRO:
Foreword
PART I. BIRDS OF PASSAGE
My paper boat
Like a well-trained monkey
Like a lost dog
The wheel turns
Afloat al last
Towards the Tropics
In the open sea
The fickle trades
Meeting place of ocean birds
Atlantic
The great turning point
Panama-Galapagos
Aworld which fear has spared
At he gates to Pplynesia
A dream at a price
PART II. THE LOGICAL ROUTE
Preparations
A start ... like any other
A whole gale
In the heavy seas of the high latitudes or the game of the little squares
Cape horn to port
On the look-out for icebergs
The horse latitudes
Trade winds ... from the west!
