This is a fun clipping from an Auckland newspaper describing the circumnavigating plan of the U.S. cutter Wanderlust, which I joined as first mate in New Zealand in January, 1979. We headed to Sydney and onward. Some of the journey is described in a narrated slide show I did for my Dot Earth blog: http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/science/20071024_DOTEARTH_FEATURE/index.html
