"We're All on the Journey": a Compilation of the E-mailed Reports from the Otter Covering the Journey's First Year

In 1998 Brec Morgan set off in his 27' Pacific Seacraft Orion to sail around the world. He left from Block Island, Rhode Island, and by the time he arrived in the Pacific via the Panama Canal, he was convinced that it would be a solo circumnavigation. He crossed the Pacific spending an idyllic summer cruising through Polynesia before heading to New Zealand for the winter. This book is a compilation of emails prepared from a journal he sent home from New Zealand that chronicle his thoughts, experiences, and challenges in his first year out. It includes "the rest of the story" in more condensed form by supplying the draft material for his complete round-the-world narrative for "Blue Water Sailing." So, this book is more than the start of a dream come true, it finishes it by bringing the reader along from New Zealand to Sri Lanka, the Suez, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and back to Block Island by way of the Carribean.
