From Reed's Maritime Library; Moruroa Blues is high action sailing adventure. Fourteen boats sailed at short notice from New Zealand against winter gales through the Roaring Forties to a Sough Pacific atoll, not to bask on sun-drenched beaches but to join the small but determined flotilla protesting against nuclear weapons testing. For 30 days, Joie and crew withstood aggresive intimidation from a hostile French Navy. Like all ships in the New Zealand Peace Flotilla, she also survived gear failures, storms and harassment. In sailing terms alone, this three-month, 6,000 mile voyage is an amazing small boat achievement. This is a captivating story for those who enjoy the sea, or sea stories. I couldn't put it down! 207 pages including a glossary and mostly color photographs. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
