Book excerpt: This sailing thriller chronicles the life of a zealous Norwegian cruising yachtsman & author aboard his 50 foot wooden sailboat, L'ARTEMIS DE PYTHEAS. After building his yacht himself in French Guiana, Peter Tangvald & his young wife set off on an adventure that brings them both great joy & incredible tragedy. Tangvald experiences the joy of the birth of his children at sea, & despair after losing two wives at sea, one murdered by ruthless pirates & one swept overboard in a dreadful accident. This extraordinary man traveled to obscure corners of the world, testing the boundaries of his strength & endurance. He left us this legacy before the sea claimed his life & that of his young daughter in 1991 off the coast of Bonaire. His son, Thomas, is the lone survivor of this ill fated family.
