Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this book after reading Voyaging On A Small Income and was a bit disapointed. It is all written in the "first we did that and then we went here and did this"-fashion. They are just sailing to Brazil, as the title says.
Don't get me wrong. It is a good book about sailing to Brazil, but it just doesn't touch my fantasy as much as Voyaging On A Small Income. Also, I miss some information on the sailing. It's all about the destinations.

This is the long awaited and much anticipated second book by Annie Hill, author of Voyaging on a Small Income. For all those who have been entertained by Annie and Pete Hill's saga on Badger, the voyage continues. Now, Badger and her crew are off for the sailing adventure of a lifetime to South America and the Falkland Islands. In her typical, well-written fashion, Annie gives us enough technical information to satisfy any sailor as well as plenty of travel adventure to satisfy the sailor's soul. Rejoin Annie and Pete aboard Badger for an exploration of the East Coast of South America and the Falkland Islands in Brazil and Beyond.The road not taken . . .How many of us have fantasized a sailboat and a long cruise to farawayplaces? Just casting off from the hum-drum life ashore and sailingaway for a lifetime of adventure? Annie & Peter Hill have actuallydone it. In their 34-foot, Benford design, junk-rigged sailboat,Badger, they set off from England to cross the Atlantic and cruise theeast coast of South America, visiting the many rivers, harbors andanchorages of Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and the isolated FalklandIslands. Along the way they meet the eclectic international cruisingfraternity who live aboard and visit the odd corners of theworld. They sample the new delights of other countries and cultures,of vistas and wildlife most of us will never know evenexist. Illustrated with many photos taken by Annie and Pete, as wellas by sketch charts of anchorages and harbors done by Pete, this sagaof their year-long voyage follows their day-by-day adventures anddetails of their unique lifestyle, world-cruising aboard a relativelysmall boat, dependent on the wind and their own resourcefulness.
