Description:... Fourteen boats sail against winter gales from New Zealand through the Roaring Forties to a South Pacific atoll to join a small flotilla protesting against nuclear weapons testing. For 30 days, JOIE and crew withstand aggressive intimidation from a hostile French Navy, gear failure, and storms. This three-month, 6,000-mile voyage is an amazing achievement in high-action sailing.
