Acerca de esta escucha
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.

Join cruising legends Lin and Larry Pardey as from England they proceed into the Baltic, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Germany.

Historia
What happens when a man of today's overconnected world sets off alone across the Pacific at the age of 71? Christian Williams, a veteran sailor and writer, planned a 6,000-mile voyage as a test of his own seamanship and endurance, and to fulfill a lifelong goal. But he found his focus quickly turning from the surrounding sea to all of us. Is anyone the same person when no one else is there? Do we dare to find out?

Historia
John Kretschmer is sailing’s practical philosopher - as much a doer as a thinker. And that is the overarching theme of this chronicle of a sailing life. Often amusing, sometimes poignant, occasionally terrifying but always inspiring, his deeply personal account is a welcome reminder of the good life waiting at sea. With hundreds of thousands of nautical miles under his keel, John’s adventures have taken him several times around the world.

To anyone interested in small-boat cruising and voyaging, the names Lin and Larry Pardey need no introduction. As world-girdling sailors who roamed the planet on a pair of small, engineless boats that they built themselves, the Pardeys established their hard-earned reputations by eloquently (and sometimes controversially) telling their stories through a series of best-selling books and manuals, and countless seminars and boat shows.

Equipped with a new boat, a well-stocked toolbox, and the entire history of philosophic thought, he takes us as crew through squalls and calms deep into a laboratory of the universe that exists only out of sight of land. Funny, erudite, and at times deeply personal, Philosophy of Sailing explores who we are and how encounters with the unknown can be a path to revelation and joy.

This book is for them and for any experienced sailors who want to cast off the yoke of consumerist yachting and get back to what really matters at sea.

Then take off and cross oceans with them, feeling their desperation when equipment failures force ingenious workarounds in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Share the highs of navigating the crystal waters of French Polynesia and the lows of crossing pirate-infested waters in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden. Travel ashore with them to places not covered in travel brochures, meet natives untouched by the modern world, and navigate the political waters of Guantanamo Bay.

Historia
Tania Aebi was an unambitious 18-year-old, a bicycle messenger in New York City by day, a Lower East Side barfly at night. In short, she was going nowhere - until her father offered her a challenge: Tania could choose either a college education or a 26-foot sloop. The only catch was that if she chose the sailboat, she'd have to sail around the world - alone. She chose the boat, and for the next two and a half years and 27,000 miles, it was her home.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

In 1968, nine sailors set off on the most daring race ever held: to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop. It was a feat that had never been accomplished and one that would forever change the face of sailing. Ten months later, only one of the nine men would cross the finish line and earn fame, wealth, and glory. For the others, the reward was madness, failure, and death. In this extraordinary book, Peter Nichols chronicles a contest of the individual against the sea, waged at a time before cell phones and electronic positioning systems.

His spare prose conjures up shark surprises and killer waves as well as moonlight on the sea, and makes listeners feel what it’s like to sail under the stars or to lie at anchor in a tropical lagoon where dolphins leap, bathed in silver.

Despite having successfully rowed across the Atlantic the previous year, the Pacific presented the former office worker with unprecedented challenges and overpowering currents—both in the water and within herself. Crossing Earth’s largest ocean alone might seem a long way removed from everyday life, yet the lessons Roz learned about the inner journey, the ocean, and the world are relevant to all of us.

Historia
The Time Bandit is the fishing vessel that Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand use to hook the "deadliest catch", Alaskan king crabs and opilio crabs, in the Bering Sea, a dangerous body of water that can steal years from a fisherman's life. In pursuit of their daily catch, the brothers brave ice floes and heaving 60-foot waves, gusting winds of 80 miles per hour, unwieldy and unpredictable half-ton steel crab traps, and an injury rate of almost 100-percent.
There are fewer than 400 fishermen of this kind in the U.S., and early death is a common fate. But the Hillstrand brothers are drawn to the drama and adventure of life on the high seas - this is their world.

Historia
On the evening of May 6, 1942, hours after US Army General Jonathan Wainwright surrendered all US and Filipino forces on the island of Corregidor and other fortified islands in Manila Bay to the Imperial Japanese Army, 18 US Navy sailors from USS Quail began their daring escape to freedom. Using a 36-foot Navy motor launch, the 18 sailors, led by Lieutenant Commander John Morrill began their 2,000-mile journey through Japanese-infested waters. With only a watch, compass, homemade sextant and a few maps, it was an incredible feat of navigation.

Drawing on historical documents and contemporary accounts and on exclusive interviews with Carlsen's family, Delaney opens a window into the world of the merchant marine. With deep affection, and respect, for the weather and all that goes with it, he places us in the heart of the storm, a "biblical tempest" of unimaginable power.

Historia
In the 1870s, newspaperman James Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald drummed up excitement and publicity for his paper through highly publicized missions of exploration. In 1879, Bennett's idea for a voyage was his most audacious to date: the North Pole. To do this, he hired a team of naval veterans in addition to a smattering of civilians with specialized knowledge in meteorology, whaling, and naturalism. The men on board the Jeannette set off in September of 1879. This would be the last time anyone saw them for two years.

Historia
Before he was anointed to carry on the legacy of Robert Ludlum's Janson Command series, and before he collaborated with Clive Cussler on the fan favorite Isaac Bell series, Justin Scott created this suspenseful adventure tale, a novel of love and revenge set on the high seas. Written in 1978, this is considered by many to be one of the best maritime thrillers of all time. As an expert in the world of ships and sailing, Justin Scott creates an authentic maritime world, making The Shipkiller all the more thrilling because it could be a true story.

Still Relevant After Forty Years
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.

An old friend re-invented
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.

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

Sailing Inspiration
I listed to this book as my wife and I cruise Florida and The Bahamas. I am amazed and humbled by the simplicity of that boat and the skill they had to cruise with none of the luxuries we have on board, but also less of the headaches our luxuries can induce. Lin and Larry are my inspiration to keep sailing and learning.

An Incredible Journey
Cruising in Seraffyn is one of my favorite audiobooks. Lin and Larry Pardey set sail to cruise the Caribbean on their 24 1/2 foot self-built baby, Seraffyn. I say “baby” because Seraffyn was their baby. She was their home. Listening to this book made me feel as if I were right there with them. I could feel the excitement in all the prep work as they were getting ready for their first cruise to Mexico, Central America, and Panama,
When they set sail it was truly an amazing event. All the details they describe are not only fascinating but make me want to go sailing. I love the sea. The smells, the sights, the sounds.
Kitty Hendrix is my favorite voice actor. I’ve had the pleasure of listening to other work she’s voices and it’s always to perfection. She speaks very clearly and has just the right voice inflections and makes you feel like you’re right there. She has a smooth, even tone with great control. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future. I highly recommend listening to this audiobook. It was exciting and breathtaking.

A pleasure to listen to again
I read the book for the first time over 20 years ago. I owned a little sailbost for a short time, but I guess it wasn't my time yet. I am finally buying another boat and going to start cruising like I've always wanted to. I was happy to hear the old familiar stories again. I thought the narrator was perfect.
