As a hurried final leg of a circumnavigation of  the earth, Trinidad Express chronicles the  double-handed 53-day, 5,300-mile Atlantic  Ocean crossing from South Africa to Trinidad  with stops in Saint Helena Island and Fernando  de Noronha, Brazil aboard the 36-foot sailing  vessel, Advent II. 

 Written from the viewpoint of a replacement  crew member, the author’s fascination is evident  in learning from a seasoned captain and in  recounting of boat preparations, sightseeing  adventures, and poignant insights into the  history of countries and sites visited. 

 Join the blue water adventure of sailing  vessel Advent II.
