By Jim Moore

SWAN — The Second Voyage tells the engaging story of a two-year, 10,000-mile voyage from Hawaii to the East Coast of the United States via the Panama Canal, with a sojourn in the Sea of Cortez.

After covering more than 50,000 bluewater miles, Moore has accumulated a great deal of nautical experience and wisdom, which he shares in the form of many specific tips on boatbuilding, sailing, and living aboard, all woven seamlessly into the narrative.

“…a warm, companionable read.” —The ENSIGN

“Once you begin reading, you won't be able to put this book down.” —The ENSIGN

“Every publisher who thinks of pushing out a boating book should study this one, and learn from it. It is a paragon, combining entertainment and instruction. No, not overt instruction. As Jim Moore says at the start, he is not out to tell people how to do it – simply to report ‘this is what works for us’… All this helpful, instructive material is woven into lively accounts of people and places they encountered in a voyage to the Hawaiian islands from Oregon, and then down the west coast of Mexico. It is not often that one finds a book that is so enjoyable to read, and so replete with practicalities.” —Practical Boat Owner

About the Author:
Jim and Molly Moore decided to quit their jobs, chuck their middle-class lifestyle, build their own boat, and sail around the world. The adventures of building the 36-ft. fiberglass sloop SWAN, learning how to sail, and finally embarking on the cruising life, were recounted in Jim's first book, By Way of the Wind.
