Isbn: 9781929214983 - as long as it's fun: the epic voyages and extraordinary times of lin and larry pardey [idioma inglés] (39 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: Good. 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. They have been called the first couple of cruising and have remained true to their mantra: Go simple, go small, go now. And after 200,000 miles of cruising under sail, they've demonstrated that the dream of voyaging over the horizon is not only attainable, it's affordable. The children of modest, middle-class families, their message of accessibility into the world of cruising-of taking your own floating home anywhere-has proved irresistible to tens of thousands of sailors. Lin and Larry Pardey became cruising royalty not solely due to their impressive deeds but also through their rare ability to share what they'd learned across multiple media. Seemingly every offshore cruiser knows who they are and what they represent. Or do they? In As Long as It's Fun, the biography of Lin and Larry Pardey, Herb McCormick recounts their remarkable sailing career-from their early days in Southern California to their two circumnavigations to their current life in a quiet cove in New Zealand. Through interviews with their families, friends, and critics, McCormick delves deeply into the couple's often-controversial opinions, sometimes-tenuous marriage, and amazing list of accomplishments. As Long as It's Fun is as much a love story as it is a sea yarn, and, like all such stories, it's not without complications . . . which makes it not only a sailing tale but also a human one.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. After nearly half a century of adventures in small boats on big oceans, sailing legends Lin and Larry Pardey have hung up their sea boots and retired to Kawau Island in the Hauraki Gulf. You would think that this would provide Lin time to sit down and write the tell-all biography of 5 decades worth of exploits, both on sea and off. Far from it. The last big Pardey adventure has been farmed out to friend and editor Herb McCormick. And, we are all the much richer for this objective, warts and all biography, with plenty of Pardey stories that didn't make it into print. The threats, the fights, the puking, the anecdotes, big hurricanes, and dragging anchors, the times spent ashore when the money ran out.In fact, all the stories you would expect when 2 people spend 24 hours a day, seven days a week cooped up on a 24 foot wooden boat with a bucket for a toilet, no electricity, no engine, no modern navigation gear and a living area the size of a motel bathroom. The Pardey's lived by 2 guiding principles. They would keep going "as long as it's fun" and they would "go small, go simple, and go now".Herb McCormick, editor of 'Cruising World' magazine for 30 years, has crafted a narrative that follows the Pardey tracks from one side of the world to the other, holding nothing back, but showing the hard work, steely resolve, the terror and the fun that was the essence of their life's journey. Glorious, in the end, not always pretty, but as long as it was fun. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
