Travelling with only a change of clothes in an old pillow case, a typewriter & rusty speargun, PinneyâÂÂs journey through the West Indies & Pacific in 1962 is alive in this travellerâÂÂs tale of high seas, close tropical coasts, fishermen, bars & women and men of âÂÂinteresting characterâÂÂ. Intertwining arrests and close escapes, love, lust, loss, moonshine liquor, deportation & stowaways amongst lush landscapes and island communities from Guadeloupe to the New Hebrides, This is PinneyâÂÂs lyrically written homecoming journey after 15 years on the road, arriving finally in Australia. Originally published by Angus & Robertson this is an exciting reprint of an Australian travel classic.

Great story from a lovable Australian rogue. This time his travels take him from St Kitts to Nevis, Dominica, Guadeloupe and Martinique in the Caribbean, then on to Tahiti and Vanuatu before his return to Sydney, Australia.
