By Frank Davis. Paperback, 147mm x 210mm, 192 pages. Full colour photographs.
This is Frank Davis' personal account of a trip around new Zealand in a 35 foot yacht called "Aorere II". The trip lasted from december 1980 to march 1981. The time however is not important as the places are still there in all their glory. Frank himself calls the book "A small piece of writing by one man who kept a diary of his thoughts while circumnavigating his country with a wonderful group of friends in a very special and much-loved yacht". He continues with "I just hope that I manage in my account of this personal voyage to give you some idea of the magical places that still remain in this beatiful and much loved land of ours. There are remote wonderlands which can still only be reached by vessel or float plane or by foot. Some are breathtaking in their wild beauty and if this book stirs some of its readers to go out and search for themselves these remote places in Aotearoa new Zealand, the author will be satisfied".
