Just Sea and Sky

England to New Zealand the Hard Way

Produktbeschreibung

Part travelogue and part adventure story, two men sailed half way round the globe with no GPS, electronics, radio or any of the mod cons we take for granted. Staggering that they did it, and staggering that it was only a few decades ago.

Autorenporträt

Ben Pester was born in New Zealand and came to the UK in 1943, aged 18, to serve in the Royal Navy. During the 1950s he served in the New Zealand Navy. After leaving the service he joined the aluminium industry, rising to the position of an international chief executive. After retiring in 1990 he became a sailing instructor, and undertook several long distance cruises, including rounding Cape Horn. Until his sudden death in May 2010, at the age of 85, Ben continued to sail the coastal waters of Cornwall all year round in his beloved Marelle.
