Hear Sally-Christine’s Voyaging Tales

Many newly released books cross our desks here at Latitude 38 ‘world headquarters’. One recent standout was Convergence – A Voyage Through French Polynesia (Paradise Cay Publications), by Sally-Christine Rodgers. It details a voyage taken by the author, husband Randy Repass (founder of West Marine) and their teenage son aboard Convergence, their custom-built Wylie 65 cat.

"Although the custom-built vessel is more high-end than most cruising boats out there," wrote our reviewer, John Riise, in the January 2015 Latitude, "Rodgers’ splendid presentation and down-to-earth style (with frequent homages to her seafaring father) ranks this as one of the best cruising books we’ve ever seen. Every spread in Convergence comes alive with excellent photography. If we had to be stuck on a desert island with only one book to read, this would be an excellent choice."
