The cruising tale is full of the sights and sounds, the fragrances and native customs of foreign lands, especially Central American and the Caribbean. It is a story of a leisurely sail through the Gulf of Cortez and on through Panama Canal to the Azores and England. Cruising in Seraffyn is also a carefully thought out guide to living aboard a small boat, with fun and economy as the guiding principles. Four appendices provide data that is vital for anyone comtemplating long-distance cruising.

Narrator is clearly not a boater and mispronounced many nautical words. But the story carries the day.

Great story .

The Pardey's, cruising legends who inspired countless others, write in a simple, light straight forward way that makes for enjoyable reading and/or listening - especially with Kitty Hendrix's excellent narration. Though the book recounts their adventures in the late sixties and early seventies, it still has some application to cruising today. Communities have changed, prices have changed, seas have become more crowded, but the joys and struggles of a couple working their way slowly and carefully from California to England still resonates. Especially in the appendixes, the Pardey's enumerate the very practical points to consider if one is interested in a life of cruising. Updated to the early 2000's, they bring to bear the results of surveying other world cruisers and present hard cold facts for a potential cruiser / sailor to consider before pulling anchor. It makes you take seriously their "motto": Go Simple, Go Small, Go Now.

Still Relevant After Forty Years

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is the book that first got me into sailing years ago. I'm pleased to rediscover an old friend in the guise of this new audio edition. The narrator does an artful job, and the Pardeys' voices ring loud and clear. Ideal for listening while on midnight watch on the way to Bermuda, or in the car on the way to the gym. Tres cool.

What does Kitty Hendrix bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Ms. Hendrix is a first-rate narrator - ingratiating, subtle, easy to listen to.

Any additional comments?

"Must" reading - or "listening" - for any and all serious (or would-be serious) cruising sailors.

An old friend re-invented
