Windjammin' -- My Adventures in Paradise Thomas Richard Jones

Captain Jones has seen his share of seagoing adventures in paradise. He's probably seen your share, too. But why should you settle for that? Anybody can plop themselves down in front of a virtual reality TV screen. Many of us (most?) have dreamed of escaping; living the vagrant gypsy's life in far-off exotic ports-of-call where nothing for which you are responsible at home makes any difference any more. At least temporarily. Some folks do it. Captain Tom did. You can join him. So jump aboard and live what it's like to dream a bit; then have it. All of it. From teenaged longings to full immersion in an idyllic Hawaiian waterfall secreted at the base of the world's tallest sea cliffs. Survive Makaha's monster surf and Windjammer Barefoot Cruises' daily pandemonium; hang tight for the antics of some of the Caribbean's most untamed and untamable rogues, and share the decks-awash thrills of a voyage from Lahaina, Maui to San Francisco aboard the fastest ocean-racing yacht of her day. Swim with open-ocean dolphins, barracudas, and whales: no cage; no shore-side aquarium glass enclosure. Grab the tail of a six-foot requiem shark while surrounded by thirty of its closest friends. And, oh yes, actually walk the plank in a former Caribbean pirate haven. This ain't no Carnival Cruise. Welcome aboard! And hang on!
