Searching for blue water

the long version

"When John and Peggy Kingston were in their mid-fifties, they decided to sail around the world. John, already an experienced sailor, prepared his cutter, the Capella, for the voyage and advertised for crew members. Then they sailed out of Hamble in Southampton Water for the adventure of a lifetime. More than 25, 000 miles later, having faced countless perils on some of the world's most treacherous seas, the Capella was to meet with disaster in the North Atlantic on the last lap for home."--Back cover.
