Forlagsbeskrivelse af From the Southern Cross to the North Star af Vinni Breuning og Carsten Breuning

Vinni and Carsten drop their careers; sell their home and possessions in order to fulfill their lifelong dream. A dream of sailing around the world in their 40-foot sailboat, Capri. They left Copenhagen May 29, 2016. From the Southern Cross to the North Star is the sequel to their popular first book, Capri – Sailing Distant Seas. Here they continue their brutally honest description of blue water cruising. The book describes their adventures, both on the ocean and at anchor throughout the Pacific. It describes a life that is diametrically different from their past professional lives. Their choice has given them unbelievable freedom. They live in close contact with nature and meet many new and different cultures. Throughout their travels, they find new friends from far-ranging countries. The book is aimed at not only cruising sailors, but also landlubbers. The authors hope to inspire the reader to live their dream – be it on land or water. Excerpt from the bookBoth sails are in the third reef, Carsten is still immobile. I’ve taken over the galley duties and I’m not (yet) seasick. But I get very irritated when I work in the galley, nothing stays where I put it and the cook (me) has difficulty keeping her balance. Up in the cockpit, Carsten can hear me cursing like a true sailor. He says my language would embarrass even an old salt. My apologies. I can’t wait until we get to an anchorage and truly hope that we will be able to lie quietly. We have had enough of “rock and roll” (eighteenth day at sea).
