Description

Sail the Spirit by Iain Sharp. 'Dawn swims, night watches, cramped quarters, being wet and seasick, safety drills and lectures, going aloft, learning innumerable ropes and managing acres of sails; whichever way you look at it, sailing with the Spirit doesn't sound like a picnic! So what is it that attracts hundreds of young New Zealanders every year to do exactly that? Through first-hand accounts from traininees and crew, author Iian Sharp presents the challenge and excitement of a ten day voyage on board the Spirit of Adventure and the Spirit of New Zealand - the mainstay of The Spirit of Adventure Trust's youth development programmes nationwide. While the 15-19 year olds who join the voyages do so for a wide range of reasons, all come away with a sense of personal achievement, of increased self-confidence, and of having met a challenge head-on and coped.' The book has a large personal message to a previous owner on the title page but the book remains tight and bright.
