"Lure of the Trade Winds: Two Women Sailing the Pacific Ocean"
transports readers to a place where few have gone before: aboard a
thirty-four-foot boat, cruising the Pacific Ocean. Join author
Jeannine Talley, as she and her sailing partner, Joy Smith, embark
on the journey of a lifetime.
Each day is a new adventure aboard the Banshee. Talley and her
partner are stranded on a reef in Vanuatu, contract malaria, rescue
a wrecked boat, visit a skull site in the Solomon Islands, and
journey to remote islands whose inhabitants still bear the scars of
a brutal colonial past. When their electronic navigational
equipment is lost in a storm, they must use sextant navigation,
depending entirely on sun sights, to make a long passage north from
the South Pacifi c to Micronesia.
In "Lure of the Trade Winds," the two women travel to some of
the most remote areas of the world and interact with the
inhabitants within their social settings. They unravel some of the
world's mysteries, plunge into the unknown, and come face to face
with some of the darker aspects of legacy of colonialism. The tale
of their travels proves once again that the spirit of adventure
knows no bounds.
