Still Cruising the High Seas is a sequel to Danny Leones first autobiographical travel escape Once Upon a Cruise. This story chronicles his experiences employed in an interim position at a second rate cruise line while his company was building new deluxe ships in Pascagoula, Mississippi. It details the contrast between his temporary fill-in job and his stellar career with Moore-McCormack Lines, including the harrowing catastrophe at sea which nearly cost him his life and those off all on board.
The Copelands did what many of us can only dream of -- one gloomy Canadian Winter they decided to pack up, rent out their home, buy a boat and go travelling. Liza, her husband Andy and their young children left their regular lifestyle to go sailing on their 40-foot boat 'Bagheera' for two years. They found their new life so exhilarating they stayed away for six years, completing a circumnavigation of the world and visiting 82 countries. This is the sequel to the best-selling 'Just Cruising'. Here their journey continues from Australia to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, The Andaman Islands, Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives, the Seychelles, down the East African coast to Madagascar, around the Cape of Good Hope, then back through the Caribbean and Cuba to Florida. Often sailing to remote and little known destinations, the book recounts some of the Copeland's richest, most exotic cruising and travelling adventures, including their greatest challenges at sea. It also includes a 'How-to' section and glossary.
