Here is the second book in the 'Living Under Sail' series, which is about a family sailing their boat from San Francisco to the fishing port of Whitby on the North East Coast of England, and then back again. This book 'Onward to England' continues from the Panama Canal to Whitby. After cruising for almost year, they have lost the urge to hurry for harbor and have become true sailors, living their lives on the sea. Operating independently, with no long-range communication or outside support, they are entirely dependent on their boat and themselves. Harvey and Shirley, with their two children Barbara almost twelve, and Simon fifteen, continue from the Panama Canal into the reef-strewn Southwestern Caribbean and on to Florida, then across the Atlantic to Bermuda and the Azores, before sailing none stop to England, through the English Channel, and up the North Sea to Whitby.There are insights into life on a forty-five-foot sailboat: Watch keeping: Home schooling during an ongoing cruise: Eating, sleeping, and working the ship: Seamanship and pre-satellite navigation: Ship's stores and running the galley.
