About the Book

Resoconto di viaggio, diario di bordo della meravigliosa odissea che in circa quattro mesi di mare ha portato a completare il periplo a vela del Mar dei Coralli, in due su di un Moody di dodici metri. Nato in maniera assolutamente imprevista, dall'incontro fortuito con uno skipper australiano a caccia di un compagno per lanciarsi in un'avventura velica nelle vastità del Pacifico, intrapreso dall'autore con una massiccia dose sia di entusiasmo che di incoscienza, fin dall'inizio il periplo si rivela uno specchio dei due membri dell'equipaggio. Le traversate oscillano tra l'eroico e il rocambolesco, passando per tempeste senza misericordia e immobili calme piatte, su immensità liquide apparentemente sconfinate, per approdare alfine su incantevoli lidi di isole esotiche. Il viaggio porta a scalare vulcani esplosivi e a contemplare laghi di lava in ebollizione, a esplorare i reef più spettacolari e a finire a nuotare a tu per tu con squali, mante, testuggini, dugonghi e intimorenti balene. La rotta seguita da Sansabaar, il nome del vascello, passa per la Nuova Caledonia, Vanuatu, Isole Salomone, Papua, per poi rientrare nel Queensland australiano, ma sconfina nel tempo quando incrocia quelle di marinai del passato; dai Lapita precursori dei Polinesiani, ai navigatori europei di Rinascimento e Illuminismo, fino alle flotte americane e giapponesi che si sono date battaglia in queste acque durante la seconda guerra mondiale.Il racconto è avvincente e avventuroso, poetico e informativo, e inevitabilmente umoristico. Infatti l'entusiasmo che porta ad accettare la scommessa di intraprendere un simile viaggio, è più forte solo dell'incoscienza di gettarsi incontro all'oceano con esperienze veliche limitate, e della follia di una permanenza in barca per quasi quattro mesi praticamente con uno sconosciuto. Ma questa occasione unica acchiappata al volo malgrado tutto, alla fine premia ambedue gli intrepidi marinai con il dono delle meraviglie più spettacolari di questo pianeta e con la nascita di una vera amicizia. Quest'opportunità inaspettata diventa un vero golden ticket, un biglietto non solo per intraprendere il periplo del Mar dei Coralli, ma anche per un radicale cambio di rotta nella propria esistenza, verso il perseguimento dei sogni "impossibili" e il coronamento delle vere aspirazioni personali.
