Bailey draws on the labors and findings of a great variety of experts - archaeologists, language experts, anthropologists, biologists, historians, collectors of myth and oral tradition, and geographers - and sets out to show that there has really been a global village several times before."

In May 1946 John Caldwell set out to sail from Panama to Sydney to reunite with his wife who he hadn't seen for more than a year. Eager to reach his destination and unable to secure any other form of transport, he had to resort to singlehanded seamanship. After an ignominious scene in the harbor, where a tangled anchor led him to take an early dip, he spent ten days learning the rudiments of navigation and sailing from a book, before embarking on the 9,000 mile journey aboard the 20-foot Pagan. Ahead lay a mission that was to reveal in him elements not only of astounding courage and determination, but also of incredible foolhardiness. Within 500 miles of Panama John Caldwell had already been shipwrecked once and had his boat's engine and cockpit destroyed by an angry shark. Indefatigable, he decided to press on towards his goal.He endured the terrors and discomforts of life on the high seas and enjoyed the triumphs of fighting and winning against the elements. This is more than an exciting tale of sea-adventure. It is as compelling and unpredictable as a thriller. It is the story, witty and moving, of a man, motivated initially by love, and ultimately by his own fierce determination to survive.

Here is an idea: This spring, fly to St. Martin or one of the other Caribbean islands and buy a sailboat. Then, next Halloween (or so) pack up the family and move on to the boat for the winter. You and your family can spend the first month learning to sail, then explore the islands, home-school the kids, and enjoy tropical living. If things go well, when you return home and sell the boat you might even make enough to pay for the trip. Sound far-fetched? This family of four from Camano Island, Washington did exactly that. Overcoming a lack of sailing and cruising experience with research, good advice and attitude, they had a great time and a great adventure as they sailed the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Also, the companion video is now available here on Amazon.com.Reviews: Although the Rinks had raised their children power boating in the Northwest, the family learned together how to sail in the Caribbean. By the end of the six-month-long adventure, the family had anchored out every night but two, and made ocean passages as long as five nights. -We challenged ourselves in meaningful ways that brought us together as a family. The whole idea of the video and book is to share how other families can experience this kind of great adventure.- --SEA, May 2003Although the Rinks had raised their children power boating in the Northwest, the family learned together how to sail in the Caribbean.

Why? Because it is a clearly written log of one Northwest family's sailing adventures and a detailed how- to-do-it manual. Many of us talk (or dream) of taking off to cruise through warm seas. But when it comes to acting, we don t have the money, or the right boat, or the time, the skills, the, the, the . . . The Rink family didn't either. In fact, they were not even experienced sailors. While they both taken sailing and pilotage courses, they had never cruised off shore. They had kids in school and profitable work that they enjoyed (mostly). But they dropped, massaged, and changed their commitments to pursue something new to all of us that would be difficult to complete. -We wanted a trip that would present problems and challenges that we could solve only as a family.- While the book loosely describes their overall voyage, it really is a compendium of information and advice. There are chapters on such topics as: anchoring, money, health and safety, food, our favorite places, shipping the boat home and so on. Rink includes tidbits like: Cleanliness is a big deal when buying and storing food. We managed to keep Mermaid completely cockroach free, but is was a lot of work. We saw more than a few boats that were infested with ants or cockroaches. There is even a section titled: -Calendar - laying out exactly what to do as well as telling when and where to be during your own Caribbean adventure. The equipment list alone is worth the book price. For anyone gravitating toward a similar adventure, this paperback (and their video) is a treasure --pugetmarine web siteIf you've ever wondered how a family of novice sailors can take a year off and successfully cruise the Caribbean and the Bahamas, read this book. Phil and Nancy Rink and their daughter, Lena, 12, and their son, Pender, 9, move aboard Mermaid, a Beneteau Oceanis 400 in St. Martin and chronicle their experience, often through the eyes of their children. An inspirational primer on how to cruise the Caribbean with kids. --Cruising World, Jan 2004.
