There are many of us who have had oeeasion to become thoroughly dispirited by the bloody-mindedness of the weather patterns found in the higher latitudes. How many eruises have been ruined by a persistent sueeession of depressions whieh bring rain, cloud and far too mueh wind for eomfortable holiday sailing? Thoughts of more reliable warm weather eonditions abound when the boat and erew are galebound, damp and dreary. It ean be done - that passage to the Mediterranean or the Caribbean ean easily be aehieved with forethought and preparation - and it does not mean that houses and businesses must be sold - life ean go on as desired. Sailing in guaranteed sun is within the grasp of many offshoreboat owners. Clifford Stillwell arrived at this eonclusion some years ago and moved his boat to the Mediterranean. That same boat is now in the Caribbean, although he retains his work and Iiving places in England. He loves his new freedom. This book is the result of his experienee and lays the foundations for initial planning and preparations. It eovers the boat, the erew, the modifieations for long distanee passage making and a host of useful observations about sailing and keeping a boat far from domestie shores.
