Onward To England (Living Under Sail Book 2)

If you ever thought about getting a boat and sailing away, here is the second book in the series ‘Living Under Sail’, about a family sailing their boat from San Francisco to Whitby on the North East Coast of England, and back again. This book ‘Onward to England’ covers the voyaging from the Panama Canal to Whitby and is the sequel to ‘Pineapple Chunks With Sardines’, which covered from San Francisco to the Caribbean.
After almost a year continually underway or in remote anchorages, they have lost the urge to hurry for harbor and have become true sailors, living their lives on the sea. Operating independently, with no long-range communication or outside support, they are entirely dependent on their boat and themselves.
Harvey and Shirley, with their two kids, Barbara almost twelve, and Simon now fifteen, continue from the Panama Canal into the reef-strewn Southwestern Caribbean and on to Florida, then across the Atlantic to Bermuda and the Azores, before sailing none stop to England, through the English Channel, and up the North Sea to Whitby.
There are insights into life on a forty-five-foot sailboat: Watch keeping: Home schooling during an ongoing cruise: Eating, sleeping, and working the ship: Seamanship and pre-satellite navigation: Ship’s stores and running the galley.
