Blue water vagabond

Blue Water Vagabond is the biographical story of Puleston, a young lad in the 1930s who got a 31 foot yawl together and sailed with a friend from England to the Caribbean islands. They sailed among islands without jetports, when New York and Frankfurt were properly many weeks away. They lived on wild goat, grouper and turtle, often penniless but never destitute. Then a sail to New York on a larger vessel (which runs aground off the Carolina Banks) leads to another vessel and a heart-thumping winter-gale-swept passage from Nova Scotia to New York. Then Puleston seizes the chance of a lifetime to join a South Pacific bound schooner. A dreamy dalliance among Marquesas and Tahitian islands becomes a malarial nightmare as the cruise moves west and finally disbands in Manila.
