Book excerpt: Tales of a Blue Water Cruiser: 50,000 Miles of South Pacific Sailing By: J R Williams Tales of a Blue Water Cruiser is a true story of J R Williams, a man from the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania who ended up as a pilot for Hawaiian Airlines and was talked into buying a sailboat by one of his early captains when he was about 30 years old. From there he ventured into the open ocean and eventually taught himself celestial navigation and sailed from Hawaii to Tahiti, the Marquesas, and back to Hawaii. He continued open-ocean sailing over the years, ending with a five-year retirement cruise. This is proof that if you try hard enough you can accomplish anything—even if at first you never considered doing it.
