There comes a timewhen prudent andmeaningful planning and preparation can become excessive and evolve into an impedimentmuch like an anchor, keeping one in place! Almost always, adventure requires a submission to uncertainty and abandon of the pursuit of omniscience, taking at least, to a signiöcant degree that leaps into theunknown. Such was the case of Salt Peter and her skipper for the duration of a year in the Paciöc. Originally pursuing a circumnavigation, the journey took the author andhis vessel on a seven thousandmile voyage toHawaii,Tonga, Fiji and önally toNewCaledonia, where Salt Peter met her end. It was a journey of discovery, both physically and spiritually, witha rangeof experience to last a lifetime. I invite you to join me on this year-long adventure and experience with me an honest, uncomplicated and enriching interaction with the seemingly endless ocean and volatile sky and discover with me the rewards of takinga chance. A life-long outdoor enthusiast, the author moved from mountaineering and climbing to flying small aircraft. After retirement from teaching, the exciting world of sailboats entered his life for the first time. He purchased his first boat, a Catalina 36 sailboat, moved aboard and for the past 13 years has made the ocean his home. Peter Jenvay
