After his doctor gives him less than a year to live, Roger decides to fulfill a life-long fantasy of purchasing a sailboat and sailing to Tahiti but is fearful that his wife and three grown sons will interfere. In his secretive search for just the right sailboat that he can single-hand for the trip, he answers a newspaper advertisement for a thirty-foot Tahiti ketch. Much to his surprise, he discovers the owner to be a widow whose sailing partner, her husband, died the previous year. Because she has no one to sail with, she reluctantly decides to sell the \u003ci\u003eSea Witch\u003c\/i\u003e. While showing the boat to Rodger, she realizes that he is determined to learn but has no hands-on sailing experience. Because Helen is lonely, loves to sail, and is maybe a little bit desperate herself for companionship and a sailing adventure, she offers to skipper the boat for him and teach him to be a sailor. Rodger becomes first mate and experiences the greatest adventure of all as he and Helen embark on their runaway journey to Tahiti.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry F.
