A hippy Sell Up and Sail, this entertaining and inspiring book is more
than just a cruising narrative - it is an instructive account showing how
anyone can circumnavigate (or even sail for an extended period) without
huge funds. Lars Hassler originally set off intending to sail for
three years, but by judiciously using his funds, and topping them up by
taking charter guests on cruises, he sailed around the world for ten years.





Woven into the book is advice on costs, distances, timing, power
needs, food and medication - in other words, the practicalities that
everyone who sails needs to know about. And at the end, there is a forward-looking
chapter providing advice on 'After the Circumnavigation - What Next?'





With a Foreword by Jimmy Cornell and a gorgeous photo section, this is
an enjoyable and useful read for anyone thinking, or dreaming, about making an
extended cruise.



'Lars, the modern day Odysseus...is in many respects an extraordinary
person, a man who had the guts to chuck it all in and opt for a
lifestyle that others dream of their entire lives... Any reader
planning to follow the author's example will find many useful tips on
how to earn a living while cruising. Thank you Lasse!'
