Product Details

She was a fashion model who adored clothes. He lived in faded jeans and deck shoes. She loved horses and loathed boats. He loved boats and loathed horses. She had imagined all boats used headlights and indicators at night. He would only mount a horse equipped with a handbrake and seat belt.

How could two such opposites be so easily swept from whirlwind romance into marriage, particularly when he had suggested sailing his catamaran on a 3,500 mile honeymoon voyage from Salcombe to Cyprus.
Setting sail into a violent thunderstorm one night in July 1980, Jani wondered if she had made the biggest mistake of her life. Ahead lay five days and nights crossing the infamous Bay of Biscay without sight of land. Would the next months of their honeymoon prove so equally disastrous?
Jani relives the delights and misadventures of this journey of a lifetime with the honesty and sense of the ridiculous that have made her previous memoirs so popular. Assisted by a scrapbook of postcards sent to her parents from every port of call, Jani ably recollects the sights, scents and flavours of life at sea, at the islands visited along the way - and eventually in Cyprus - long before the entire Mediterranean was changed forever.
At once engaging, informative, down to earth and most amusing'
