Shakedown Cruise

Nigel Calder tells the story of his first round-the-world voyage, when he was a novice cruiser with grand ambitions. That trip made Calder the mariner he is today, including hard-won lessons about troubleshooting engines, kedging off shoals and reefs, and navigation. It is an adventure story and Caribbean travelogue, and will bring you along on the journey with Calder and his family.
