Hal & Margaret Roth sailing books

Hal and Margaret Roth began sailing in 1962, and from 1966 began adventures as a pair sailing many tens of thousands of miles in a 35-foot fiberglass yacht, and later boats as well. The places and people Roth describes have often experienced dramatic changes from their visits of late 1960s through 1980s. In particular, some of the people and their children and grandchildren still have connections to the places Roth visited.

We first examine the book “Two on a Big Ocean” (1972) on the Roths’ 1967-1969 18,500 circumnavigation of the Pacific Ocean.
