Adventure
“I tried everywhere a year ago to get a copy of your ‘Pacific Islands Year Book’ before making an ex tended trip through the Polynesian Islands, as it is considered by yachtsmen as being the very best— but it was out of print”, reported Gene Pettengill recently, from Newport Beach, California, USA, sending $5 for a copy of the new recently-issued edition of “PIYB”.
Pettengill’s ketch PU’ORI, ex- GOLDEN RULE, completing her nine-months’ cruise of Hawaiian, Marquesas, Tnamotu and Society islands, put in to Newport Beach a few months ago just as the fleet of yachts were starting the Los Angeles - Honolulu race. PU’ORI now has a ‘‘For Sale” sign tacked on her bowsprit and awaits her next adventure.
