Böcker av Peter Jenvay

Though we are surrounded by humanity's great potential for kindness and love, we can't help but be aware of the dark side of human existence. Disease, famine, wars, social and political injustice, and crimes against the decency of man. We celebrate the heroes, honor the victims, and condemn the agents of terror. We seek justice! And within all that, we wonder why it is that humanity is so divided. Why is it so difficult--we dare not say impossible--for the inhabitants of this earth to give way to goodness? Why, indeed, is there no intervention from above? What would we risk to seek justice and defend innocence?

There comes a time when prudent and meaningful planning and preparation can become excessive and evolve into an impediment much like an anchor, keeping one in place! Almost always, adventure requires a submission to uncertainty and abandon of the pursuit of omniscience, taking at least, to a significant degree that leaps into the unknown. Such was the case of Salt Peter and her skipper for the duration of a year in the Pacific. Originally pursuing a circumnavigation, the journey took the author and his vessel on a seven thousand mile voyage to Hawaii, Tonga, Fiji and finally to New Caledonia, where Salt Peter met her end. It was a journey of discovery, both physically and spiritually, with a range of experience to last a lifetime. I invite you to join me on this year-long adventure and experience with me an honest, uncomplicated and enriching interaction with the seemingly endless ocean and volatile sky and discover with me the rewards of taking a chance.
