Sailing thru Land Eternal

About the Book

This book is a sequel to Flying Angel. It completes the Project MARC story in Vanuatu while inviting you aboard SV Rivendel II on some of the ocean passages that brought her there (e.g., a 1994 Hawaii crossing and her final trip to Brisbane [2008] after eight years of crisscrossing Vanuatu's outer islands with teams of doctors and teachers plus supplies and small flotillas of other sailing vessels). When providing care or training village health workers, language flubs or cultural goofs would regularly create hilarious situations that broke the ice and, with luck, prompted jaw-dropping tales of black magic, sorcerers, mountain spirits, or cannibalism in return. These are the stories of black and white people, with their hopes and fears of trying to survive Land Eternal by the grace of God.
