No Return Ticket – Leg One is the compelling true saga of Endymion and her captain, a successful businessman who chucked away the glitz of California to live a dream shared by millions—sailing to the jaw-dropping beauty of the South Pacific with only the wind and whim guiding the journey.
But dreams sometimes must step aside for reality. On the eve of casting off, thieves stole Skip's original yacht, Love Story, and set it ablaze on a desolate Mexican beach. Tracking down the thieves, the author captured them at gunpoint in a bar, landing himself in the same Mexican jail.
Outward bound across the Pacific aboard his new ketch, Endymion, the crew is forced to play chicken with a rogue freighter. They're knocked down mid-ocean, sail into an active military coup, and, while crossing the Tasman Sea from New Caledonia to Australia, manage to survive the most violent storm in the last 100 years.
It's an exciting read. You will believe you're on deck with the skipper, experiencing the freedom, joy, and challenges that true ocean passages can deliver.
