In this episode I continue reading Capt. Joshua Slocum’s excellent narrative of his solo circumnavigation of the world in 1895.
In chapters 13 & 14 Slocum leaves Samoa, sailing to Australia and then to Tasmania. Australia is an opportunity for Slocum to relax a little; he is on the far side of the world from his starting point in Boston and is once again amongst friends and those who know of his voyage, all of whom are keen to assist him.
