Publisher's Synopsis
TRAVELS WITH YETI takes you along on the journeys of an adventurous New England couple who set out to challenge the unknowns of living on a sailboat and traveling in foreign lands. For five years, Hiram and Helen Connell lived their dreams aboard a 36-foot sailboat, navigating waters from Maine to the Caribbean, to Trinidad, to Venezuela, Colombia, Panama and back. Their story describes in close detail the what's, how's and why's of all they encountered - of life aboard, dangers at sea and the mechanical, meteorological and cultural challenges they experienced on a daily basis, all from the humble perspective of mere mortals. Over two hundred color photographs document these journeys to lands of lush palms and piratical bureaucrats, new and soon-to-be old friends, adventure and misadventure, lessons learned and lessons shared. Hitch a ride as a stowaway on Hiram and Helen's two amazing voyages to Paradise and back again.
