Ronald Preedy sailed yachts for a living, delivering them to places as far apart as Scotland, Spain, Martinique and the USA. In this varied collection of sixteen stories, he recalls some of his most memorable journeys. These include his near-fatal encounter with the October 1987 hurricane, off the coast of Spain.
