Description
This is the story of Bernard and Fran?ise Moitessiers honeymoon voyage aboard Joshua, sailing from Europe to the islands of the Pacific and back by way of Cape Horn, the logical route, because it was the fastest. Setting out from Tahiti, they make their way through the Roaring Forties, iceberg territory, and the relentless gale-force winds of the higher latitudes. They owe their survival to careful preparation, superior seamanship, and their sens of harmony with Joshua and the sea.
Cape Horn is also the tale of how Joshua, Moitessiers dream boat, became a reality, and how he recovered from the disaster of losing his previous boatwhich he himself had builtto pursue his great love: sailing the worlds oceans.
