Three people are sailing from Australia twards South America when they are flipped over and lose their mast. They then sail for five weeks and land in Chile. They spend Several months repairing their boat and head off again only to be flipped over one more time. Very good story, but full of sailing jargon that I had trouble with, mizzen, jibbing, halyard. Good book even for nonsailors.

Fascinating tale of Miles and Beryl's sailing adventure. I am partial to the true Victorian voice.
