William Buckley's sailing career began in 1939 when he sailed across Lake Wononskopomuc in northwestern Connecticut. In 1975, he made his first transatlantic sail. Five years later, he sailed Sealestial from St Thomas to Spain. And in June 1985, he set off from Honolulu to Majuro and points west. Thirty days later, he and his friends disembarked at New Guinea. Racing Through Paradise is the story of this third, vexing, exhilarating passage.
