Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Rumbo al Pacifico Salvaje", con fotos a color, es la fascinante historia real del viaje de Randy y Rebecca Tisch desde Florida hasta Nueva Zelanda a bordo de su yate Argo. Esta destinado a atraer tanto a navegantes como a quienes no lo son. La historia se desarrolla como una narracion bellamente escrita, repleta de fotografias e ilustraciones llenas de color, que hacen que el lector sienta que esta en un recorrido virtual por el mundo a bordo de un yate privado.El capitan Tisch revive la emocion y la adrenalina de emprender una aventura tan grandiosa: primero describiendo los preparativos para zarpar y luego dando vida a sus estrategias de planificacion, mientras se enfrentan al desafio del oceano y experimentan la emocion de llegar a nuevos y exoticos puertos de escala. Este libro, en cierto sentido, es un cuaderno de viaje visto a traves de los ojos de un capitan de barco, que relata tanto los aspectos culturales e historicos de cada pais visitado, como permite al lector apreciar los aspectos de maniobra y navegacion de un crucero en tierras lejanas y exoticas.Tisch describe la ansiedad que acompana la entrada a un atolon a traves de su guantelete de arrecifes, mareas y corrientes. Tambien relata, con electrizante detalle, la batalla contra una tormenta feroz justo frente a la costa de Nueva Zelanda, describiendo tanto los momentos aterradores como los sorprendentes de esas 13 horas de prueba. En otros capitulos, describe el estado del mar y el rendimiento del yate a motor durante la travesia de 18 dias en mar abierto desde las Islas Galapagos hasta las Islas Marquesas.El capitan Tisch ofrece al lector descripciones interesantes y vividas de la flora y la fauna, la geologia y la historia, y, lo mas importante, de las personas que viven sus vidas en estos hermosos lugares. Las historias son tan diversas como el buceo en arrecifes en Fiyi, el apareamiento de tortugas gigantes en Galapagos y nadar con ballenas en Vava'u.El viaje comienza en Stuart, Florida, y continua cruzando la Corriente del Golfo hacia las Bahamas, luego al sur a traves del Paso de los Vientos hasta Port Antonio, Jamaica; cruza el Mar Caribe hasta Santa Marta (asi como Cartagena y Bogota), en Colombia; pasa por el Canal de Panama hacia las Galapagos; cruza 3.100 millas de mar abierto hasta las Islas Marquesas (Nuku Hiva, Ua Pou, Hiva Oa, Fatu Hiva y Tahuata); y sigue hacia el sur hasta Ahe, Tikehau y Rangiroa, en las Tuamotu; continua hacia las Islas de la Sociedad: Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine y Bora Bora; luego se dirige al oeste hasta Samoa, y al sur hasta Tonga y Nueva Zelanda.Finalmente, Argo regresa a los Estados Unidos via Fiyi y las islas Hawai, despues de que a Randy le diagnostican un cancer grave. El libro esta bellamente escrito, es emocionante y muy entretenido de leer. Rumbo al Pacifico Salvaje narra el viaje real de Randy y Rebecca Tisch desde Florida hasta Nueva Zelanda, con fotos a color que te hacen vivir la aventura en su yate Argo.
