In the book SAILAWAY Vol 2 Robert and Penny Powers had achieved
their goal of sailing from Lake Superior, U.S.A to the Caribbean
Sea. At that point in time and the beginning of this adventure,
they were at St Croix Island in the West Indies, over 1,000 miles
from the east coast of the U.S.A. The time is January and they
continue to sail and play for another 10 weeks in the Sailor's
Paradise know as the Virgin Islands. Here they are faced with the
dilema of how to return their Coronado 35' sloop-rigged
center-cockpit yacht named Drifter back to the United States before
the hurricane season begins in the West Indies. After several
alternatives are ruled out, they are left with only one option,
that being to sail the yacht on a Passage of 700 miles offshore
with no additional crew. This Passage requires 7 consecutive days
and nights to reach San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. The actual
voyage through ideal sailing conditions as well as strong storms is
depicted in 'real world/real life' detail including the use of
'storm survival tactics'. From San Salvador they island-hop their
way to the U.S. Mainland ahead of the hurricane season beginning in
June. A great deal of preparation is done prior to departure for
"the PASSAGE" offshore from St Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands to San
Salvador Island, Bahamas. This is a wonderful story of fun and
adventure at Sea as life truly exists aboard a sailing yacht.
