Racing Through Paradise is the third entry in Bill Buckley's now classic sailing trilogy. It chronicles the author's four thousand-mile sailing voyage across the Pacific with four close friends, his son Christopher, and a photographer.
All the virtues of Bill Buckley's earlier books are here-but this one is profoundly different. The is completed (perhaps) the end of several affairs-and the capstone volume of a diarist-journal keeper-journalist, who has proved to be, over books at sea and on land (Cruising Speed, The Unmaking of a Mayor, Airborne, Atlantic High, Overdrive, Racing Through Paradise), both his own Boswell and Johnson.
In 1980, Buckley gathered together his friends and set out to sail across the Atlantic. This is what he correctly describes as a "celebration" of that thirty-day event.
Airborne is how William F. Buckley, Jr. describes his sail across the wide Atlantic with his son and five friends.
