Get Ready to Cross Oceans

So you feel confident with cruising local waters and are thinking of setting off across an ocean. Before you start planning, join Lin and Larry Pardey on board Taleisin in Fremantle, Australia, as they demonstrate gear storage for offshore voyaging, dinghy choices, warping out a stern anchor, proper life-raft storage, storm trysails, sail repairs, and other valuable hints to help you prepare. Then voyage along with them on a classic trade-wind passage across the Indian Ocean toward Africa, with stops at Cocos (Keeling) Atoll, the quiet island of Rodriques, and the remote French colony at Reunion. Weather planning, landfall considerations, wind vanes, sail choices, and crew comfort are only a few of the subjects covered. Shot in Fremantle, Australia; at sea during their Indian Ocean passage; and near their home on Kawau Island, New Zealand.
