With great good humor and a Wagnerian sense of the majesty in an ocean crossing, Juan Corradi makes his sailboat the star of the narrative, and inspires anyone to take to sea in a small sailing vessel, and see the World from the deck of a sailboat. He gives details of her design and build, her string of lucky owners, and the great adventures at sea over 25 years. Sailing at the highest levels of competition and seamanship, Juan E Corradi sailed and raced his beloved black-hulled racing yacht, a Swan 38 named Pirate, across many thousands of adventuresome ocean miles, from Bermuda to the Mediterranean, back to the Carribean Sea, and into the Baltic and the Arctic Circle, always with a circle of close friends and his wife Christina. Pirate won the Bermuda Race, and won her class in a difficult transatlantic race in 1992, the Atlantic 500 commemorating Columbus' voyage of 1492. Cruising the Scaninavian waters, he found rocky outcrops that now bear his name. In Greece, he sailed with the Homeric myths and dear friends, and in Scotland he and crew toured the outer islands in a dedicated Single Malt Whisky Cruise. Juan brings his cheerful erudition and worldly viewpoint to the ancient venture of man against the sea, including the delights of approaching waterspouts, ocean racing, and occassional groundings. He considers what defines a classic yacht and the appeal of adventure.

This is the true story of a voyage, a voyage around the world. However, the tale is much more than you might expect. There are tropical beaches, exotic countries, fascinating people, nights at sea filled with the most brilliant stars one could ever see, and of course sailing stories. Yet there is more because this book is also about what happened to four friends so far away in the Indian Ocean who were sailing on the sailboat Quest and the deadly Somali pirate attack. It seems the press will never let a good story stand in the way of truth as with publicized stories, magazine articles, obscure books and television broadcasts about the Quest incident. The sailboat Quest was part of a group of sailboats on an ill-fated sailing Rally crossing the Indian Ocean in February 2011. That year, 2011, saw the greatest number of Somali pirate attacks in history on ships and shipping in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden. Unfortunately, this group of sailboats became part of the statistics. The Quest incident changed history as well as the mentality of sailing around the world on one's own sailboat. Sailing around the world is a challenge that is incomparable to any endeavor one can think of on Earth. Obviously there are shorter, more intense and difficult ways to challenge the very being of a person. Yet, to sail so far away from land, support, help and comfort as well as to sail for such long periods of time, very few events can equal ocean sailing on this planet. Space travel would definitely suit many long distance sailors for these same reasons. The sailboat Quest joined the Rally in Thailand and its' crewmembers were subsequently captured and killed by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. This incredible story is one that needs to be told by a member of that sailing Rally.

"A thrillingly exhilarating adventure and glorious coming-of-age story, rich in both imagination and history, in perception and truth. I couldn't put the book down."—Donald Sutherland Nova Scotia, 1952. Not exactly the place you’d expect to run into pirates. But an old mariner, his boat driven ashore in a gale, brings with him enough stories about buccaneers and their lore to make it seem that he must have had firsthand experience of the pirate life. But how is that possible? Captain Charles Johnson’s uncanny knowledge of seamanship’s dark side fuels the imagination of the young boy he befriends, setting him on his own journey of mysterious adventure.

Hitching rides on a motley assortment of freighters, dhows, yachts, and fishing smacks, Kevin Rushby sailed up the east coast of Africa in search of the lost pirate settlements that, in the sixteenth century, were established on the islands and atolls in the Indian Ocean. He turned east to the islands of Comoros and Madagascar, his ultimate objective being to locate the descendants of the infamous sixteenth-century pirates-such as Captain Misson, the legendary French pirate who may have been dreamed up by Daniel Defoe; English sailor-turned-buccaneer Thomas White; and Rhode Islander Thomas Tew-who carved kingdoms for themselves in the remote jungles of northeast Madagascar. As he traveled, Rushby met up with the crackpot dreamers, tough settlers, fighters and failures who live on the coasts and islands now-where forgotten Portuguese forts lie covered in jungle, where some have tried to shoot their way to paradise, and where the ocean can destroy lives and dreams as quickly as men and women create them.
