Playboys of the South Pacific

This book is dedicated to the spirit of adventure that dwells in many young people, such as we were when we built our trimaran, Highlight. It was written for those who have big dreams with no apparent way to achieve them. These pages will show you how to realize that dream . . . and still have no money!!!
If we did it, so can you. It’s not about the money but the wisdom gained from the experience of living outside the box, which is what we are all after. It’s your job to create the dream and I hope this helps.
It is my wish that this is more of a manual on how to escape to that freedom and adventure — a reason to cruise the Pacific Islands and the world, to meet the people and lifestyles of foreign lands, laugh with them, learn their language and the attitude you need so that you don’t take an old recipe of dull predictable living and transpose it to your future dreams.
Through these pages you will learn to look upon adversity as an opportunity to be greater, for you will never know greatness without adversity. If this is not you, then at least experience it through this armchair adventure, do it in your mind, become immersed in the journey, as you read these pages, for the brain doesn’t really know the difference.
Make the move now instead of going through life wishing you had. With an ocean of dreams waiting, may the wind be always at your back.
