Circumvnavigating Low Key is Captain Woody's account of his around the world adventure on his 33' Cal sloop, Low Key.

Starting out, with his girlfriend, on a boat not designed for the rigors of the open ocean, the plan to do some sailing in the Pacific turns into a global adventure.

From nearly losing Low Key in Mexico to waterfalls in a Polynesian paradise; tribal Kava ceremonies int he Yasawas and love lost in Australia; brewing his own beer, soloing the Indian Ocean and getting buried under her waves; sailing the perilous East Cape of Africa, enduring South Atlantic calms, getting to know Caribbean crew and Cartegena locals; limping through the Panama Canal and banging up the coast of Baja; there's a little something for everyone.

Industry Reviews

Reading this book, I could picture Captain Woody with his ever-present grin, as he would handle whatever was thrown at him. LOW KEY is not just the name of his boat, it is his lifestyle. Anyone thinking of going cruising should read this. It shows that anything is possible with the right attitude! * Latitudes & Attitudes * Meet the people on board with Woody; and those ashore, and some of the 'hotties' in many of those faraway places. Life was an absolute blast for the casual Californian. Of course there were problems, and the odd crisis; but nothing that the enterprising skipper could not deal with. And when the going got really tough, there was always a 'coldie' near at hand for a bit of relaxation. In fact, almost the entire voyage is better measured in the number of 'coldies' consumed rather than nautical miles covered. It all amounts to a very happy circumnavigation. Thank you, Woody for a very readable tale, delightfully told. * Sailing * This book offers Captain Woody's account of traveling the world on his 33' sloop Low Key. Initially his boat was not set up for ocean travel: he nearly lost it in Mexico but survived to travel the world. His lively adventures make for an outstanding survey highly recommended for any sailor who dreams of world travel on a budget. * California Bookwatch *
