Editorial Reviews: A tale of adventures, as two young dreamers continue their voyaging on board their self-built 24' 4" cutter. They cross the exotic sea that spawned Homer's tales of Ulysses' Odyssey, then sail through the strife torn Red Sea and across the typhoon tossed waters of the Bay of Bengal. In this book, fourth of the Seraffyn series, the Pardeys have reached a turning point in their lives -- halfway around the world, eight years into a meandering voyage. Their routes had always been determined by the need to find the work to support their cruising life-style, or the desire to see an island spoken of by some favorite writer. Now they have to decide whether to continue eastward, or turn back westward and complete the circle with a return to the place they once called home. The underlying theme of Seraffyn's Oriental Adventure is the demands of passage making as they sail up through the China Seas and across the North Pacific.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great series - a fantastic, enjoyable, read Comment: This is the fourth and final book in the Seraffyn series that chronicles Lin and Lary Pardey's meander around the world in their 28 foot wooden cutter. They have a very comfortable and easy going writing style that pulls you into their story. This is a wonderful series whether you are a sailor or not. - Regarding the previous reviewer's comment about storm tactics - The Pardey's have a newer book "Storm Tactics Handbook" which includes and adds a great deal to some of the chapters from this book. It is a must-have book for the ocean cruiser. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent study of storm survival on a small boat. Comment: The description of storm survival while hove-to during their northern Pacific crossing makes this book a must purchase for anyone planning (or dreaming of) a voyage across any ocean.
