Salt in the Rainbow

Jonathan, a self-taught sailor from Malaysia, who left banking to sail around the world. The journey took 4 years, as Captain, Engineer and crew.

 This story is more than sailing, it covers his adventures from storms to shipwrecked to romance in short stores as he heads West from Asia into the setting sun.

He is one of the few Asian circumnavigators that have written a book on what it’s like to come from a nonwestern country as he sails into foreign ports.

 In today’s world of 24/7 communication and electronic maps, Jonathan experiences of foreign ports, yachties from different cultures, engineering breakdowns not to mention a ‘perfect storm’ all via radio and phone boxes seems like a historical adventure, but it was only 25 years ago.
