The Cruise of the Fairweather (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days
|
This book is an account of the schooner Fairweather's
circumnavigation, San Francisco to San Francisco, a world cruise
that began by sailing down the west coast of Mexico, and then by
sailing west: across the South Seas, the East Indies, the Indian
Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean, and then back
up the west coast of Mexico. The cruise lasted four years, from
March 1961 to April 1965. This account is based on the journal that
Suttie Adams kept during the cruise, supplemented with details from
Fairweather's logbook and 38 original photos. During the four years
of the cruise, the Fairweather sailed 35,566 miles, spent 349 days
at sea, and visited 103 ports. Was it a successful cruise? Well,
many of the original crew were still aboard when Fairweather sailed
back under the Golden Gate and into San Francisco Bay. Those few
who left the schooner during the cruise never left willingly, with
the possible exception of Bill Adams, the original captain, but let
Suttie tell that story.
