註釋From the deck of his thirty-five-foot sailing catamaran, Captain James Franklin Cash navigated his crew nearly halfway around the world, across eleven thousand nautical miles, to nine different countries--and now he carries readers on the same seafaring adventure in his new book. A gripping, beautiful read, spun with lighthearted humor, and obvious wanderlust, First Time Across chronicles Cash's ocean passage from South Africa, through the Panama Canal, to Los Angeles. It touches down in places seldom seen and passionately relates the thrill of stepping ashore to unfamiliar lands and cultures, including St. Helena and the outer San Blas Islands, which are only accessible by boat. Though it has its moments of drama and i ntrigue--like the discovery of a leak in the hull 150 nautical miles off the African coast--First Time Across is not a book about danger and near-death experiences on the high sea. Rather, it is about the joys of sailing the ocean, embracing nature, facing challenges, and accomplishing goals. It presents the ocean as a calm but deadly force that should be respected but not feared, and it encourages readers to take life by the helm and steer it in the direction of fulfilling their dreams.
