Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In his travelogue "No Wind to Shangri-La," published in 2025, author and skipper Ralf Reiter describes an epic sailing trip across the Pacific Ocean. The story begins in Panama, where Reiter and his crew board a sailboat and take on the challenge of covering 4,000 nautical miles through one…of the most isolated and windless areas in the world all the way to the remote Gambier Islands, a French archipelago in the South Pacific. The trip becomes a test of endurance: with no significant wind, the crew battles against calm conditions, technical breakdowns, and the endless monotony of the ocean. Reiter describes in detail the daily routine at sea, from maintenance work and navigation decisions to philosophical reflections on loneliness and a thirst for adventure. Flashbacks and anecdotes from previous voyages or personal backgrounds lighten the narrative and lend depth to the book. After weeks of hardship, the crew reaches the Gambier Islands, a tropical idyll with crystal-clear waters, lush vegetation, and a small, hospitable Polynesian-French community. The second half of the book is devoted to the five months spent at anchor: encounters with locals, explorations by canoe, celebrations, and everyday adventures such as fishing or repairing the boat. Reiter captures not only the beauty of paradise but also its dark side, from insect infestations to cultural differences. Written in an authentic and humorous style, the book combines suspense, descriptions of nature, and wisdom about life. For Reiter and his crew, the Gambier Group becomes the ultimate paradise, a place of relaxation and new discoveries. The work is ideal for sailing enthusiasts and travel lovers who dream of unforgettable ocean adventures. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
