Seraffyn's Oriental Adventure
Serrafyns Oriental Adventureis the last (and possibly the best) in the series. Jampacked with high adventure, this book is equally crammed with good information on seamanship, planning, companionship, and sensitivities to people.  --Robin Roberts, The Tiller, 1986Much of this book is about storms. Those contemplating anything more difficult than an armchair voyage ought to buy this book. Most people faced with such a situation sincerely believe they will die. Most dont, but knowing how to make oneself reasonably comfortable throughout the ordeal is a blessing not to be missed.  --Stephen L Petranek,Washington Post, 1985The best part of Seraffyns journey is the storytelling. Even when nothing exciting happens aboard Seraffyn, Lin Pardey makes you feel as though you missed something infinitely special and awe-inspiring.  --Michael Conant,Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 1986There is a compelling and endearing charm about their books, as well as a solid underlay of practical guidance and advise based on thousands of miles of ocean sailing in all parts of the world...As they have often remarked, it is the people one meets who make cruising so interesting. On this particular sailing stint, they seem to have met an even more attractive, interesting selection of humanity than ever.  --Lloyds List, UK, 1985
