Hiscock's Whole Series is a Sailing Adventure Delight!

On taking delivery of their newly launched steel ketch "Wanderer IV" from the builders in Holland, Eric and Susan Hiscock sailed direct to England. After several "teething problems" had been cured and modifications had been carried out, they crossed the Atlantic to the Caribbean and on through the Panama Canal; turning North, they discovered the delights of cruising the coast of Central America, Mexico and California, where they stayed for a year. They then crossed the Pacific to New Zealand and cruised the wild and remote fiords of New Zealand's South Island. I like Eric Hiscock's writing style and the maps, drawings and B & W pictures enhance their adventure. It's as though you are along for the ride!
