Product Description:
Crossing an Ocean Under Power follows a retired software entrepreneur and his computer game designer wife, as they cross the Atlantic on their 62’ trawler. Although sailors have been crossing oceans for hundreds of years, the era of couples cruising the world in small powerboats is just beginning. As the book begins, Mr. Williams frankly admits to serious doubts about his boating skills. Mr. Williams chronicles his journey across the Atlantic, as well as his personal journey from 'coastal cruiser' to 'ocean crosser'. Along the way, we learn with him. Sans Souci, his boat, made the trip as part of the historic first Atlantic Power Boat rally (18 small power boats, averaging only 50 feet long, owned and captained mostly by retired couples.) Best described as a 'Dummy’s Guide to Crossing Oceans', Mr. Williams’ honest, and entertaining, style will keep you turning pages as you take this important step in readying yourself for your own long-distance cruising.

I grew up playing Ken and Roberta's computer games so I kind of had a natural gravitation toward this book when my interest in trawler yachts began. I've never been to ... Read More
Rating: - Not a "How to" But a Useful, Engaging, Record of Ocean-hopping for Small Power Boat Owners
As a fan of Beebe's "Voyaging Under Power" and a jealous admirer of the Nordhavn 62 expedition style trawler yacht, I read with interest about the 2004 transatlantic convoy ... Read More
