Book Description
Join Lin and Larry on board their self-built 24-foot, 4-inch cutter as they voyage along Ulysses wake, through the strife-torn Red Sea and across the typhoon-tossed Bay of Bengal. In the fourth of the Seraffyn series, the Pardeys have reached a turning pont - halfway around the world, eight years into a meandering voyage. Their routes had always been determined by the need to find work to support their cruising, or the desire to see an island spoken of by some favorite writer. Now they have to decide wheter to turn back westward or continue eastward and complete the circle to the place they once called home. The intimate details of life on a small boat, along with the interesting people the Pardeys meet in each exotic port, fill this book. But the underlying theme of Seraffyn's Oriental Adventure is the demands of passagemaking as they sail up through the China Seas and across the north Pacific.

Great series - a fantastic, enjoyable, read February 25, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is the fourth and final book in the Seraffyn series that chronicles Lin and Lary Pardey's meander around the world in their 28 foot wooden cutter. They have a very comfortable and easy going writing style that pulls you into their story. This is a wonderful series whether you are a sailor or not. - Regarding the previous reviewer's comment about storm tactics - The Pardey's have a newer book "Storm Tactics Handbook" which includes and adds a great deal to some of the chapters from this book. It is a must-have book for the ocean cruiser.
Excellent study of storm survival on a small boat. February 26, 1999
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
The description of storm survival while hove-to during their northern Pacific crossing makes this book a must purchase for anyone planning (or dreaming of) a voyage across any ocean.
