Synopsis

Captain Skip Rowland shares his gripping true story of the theft and subsequent torching of his beloved sailboat on a desolate Mexican shore. After personally catching the thieves he later escapes the captivating allure of California’s glitzy lifestyle to sail his new 43 foot Endymion through the jaw dropping beauty of the South Pacific to Australia. This however is no ordinary voyage. Endymion is knocked down in the mid Pacific, nearly sliced in half by a vagabond freighter, grounded on a coral reef and survives the most severe weather in over 100 years crossing the Tasman sea. Courage, love, faith, bravado, and endurance are all in this openly honest memoir about the value—and cost—of resurrecting old dreams and living them out despite the risks. Rowland’s authentic voice will have you believing you are on deck as romance of the seas meets the reality of the journey.

À propos de l?auteur

Christened Jasper Morgan Rowland III, Skips first trip outside the womb was to the Chautauqua Lake Yacht Club, where he was re-named Skip - appropriate for the newest member of generations of sailors. After graduating college and serving in the United States Marine Corps Skip Rowland co- founded a manufacturers rep company in California. Representing the 69 cent wonder tube Krazy Glue changed his life. He chucked the business world to wander the world in his 43 foot yacht 'Endymion.' What could have been a lackluster cruise became a seven year adventure, overcoming challenging situations while living life to the fullest. No Return Ticket, (Leg One and Leg Two) are true adventure memoirs about real people in unreal situations. When it was time to fold his charts Skip founded Adventure Island Entertainment, building up-market miniature golf courses in Thailand and China. After relocating to Vancouver Island, British Columbia he built the multi award winning accommodation Snug Harbor Inn, on the island's west coast. Home is now in the mountains of British Columbia along the Columbia River, far from the oceans he so loved, but a place of peace and quiet where he and former crew-member now beloved wife Denise, coast through later life. Skip is an award winning journalist and a sought after speaker.
