For 50 years, people from all walks of life have stepped aboard first the Spirit of Adventure, and today the Spirit of New Zealand Te Waka Herenga Tangata o Aotearoa, for a voyage of personal discovery. They've had fun, made friends, and been given a taste of expanded possibility. Distinguished author Roger McDonald captures stories from over 70 people who have made 'the Spirit' part of their lives, from those who have worked for the Spirit of Adventure Trust to the young people whom it has introduced to sailing and self-recognition. This attractive clothbound hardback is illustrated with drawings by Sue Fisher.
