Publisher's Synopsis
44,000 Miles Under Sail is the true story of Ed and Catherine Longwell's sailing adventure around the world aboard the schooner Pegasus. The nearly seven-year voyage took them across vast oceans where they dealt with storms and mechanical breakdowns, testing them physically and mentally. Along the way, they spent time visiting many exotic lands, embracing the varied cultures and reveling in the peace and freedom of the open waters. Follow their journey of exploring the world in a small sailboat that takes them to the lush South Pacific islands, the deserts of South Africa, the seldom visited Ascension and St. Helena Islands of the Atlantic, the anchorages along the Venezuelan and Colombian coastline, then passing through the Panama Canal to finish their dream of circumnavigating the globe.
