This charming account of the voyage of two men in a small boat half way round the world from Plymouth to New Zealand in 1953 is a rare insight into a time, not long ago, when sailors had no GPS, electronics, radio or any of the mod cons that we take for granted today.

Sailors will be staggered how primitive conditions were only a few decades ago, even though it was the norm at the time.
