Title: Sailing and Racing Through Paradise Don't Mix
Product review: I read this book several years ago following a fine read of WFB's Atlantic High. There is no comparison. From the get-go, the pace is set by an unrealistic schedule to get to the other side of the Pacific so an important passenger (ambassador or similar rank) can attend some soire in Europe. The opportunity to read and learn about any indepth interaction between the elements, or the Pacific Islanders, is lacking. I can weather WFB's verbosity, but there has to be some meat...to go along with the large wine cellar he packs aboard. I would enjoy crewing with WFB, even keeping a journal, but racing through paradise - no thanks. Read Atlantic High and call it a good sail.
