SEVENTH Edition of Sailing in my Sarong!

04 September 2023
Bill and Linda Anderson
My book Sailing in my Sarong - around the World, a 30 year dream has just been printed as a SEVENTH edition! It’s great to know people are still interested in our circumnavigation story in our home built yacht. My book has many images of my artwork including this one - a sketch and wash I completed on board anchored at Bora Bora, French Polynesia. On Friday 8th September from 2pm to 4pm we are having a relaxed celebration @iluka.emporium to enjoy a drink 🥂 and have a yarn with me and my Captain Underpants ⛵️ If you would like a copy it’s $45 and of course I’ll sign it for you. ($10 for postage) 378 pages of stories from 30 countries and heaps of colour images. I guess I’m a bit proud of this first book 😍

Sailing in my Sarong to be published again!

Exciting news - After numerous requests I will be publishing the SEVENTH edition of Sailing in my Sarong our circumnavigation story with a new epilogue. Release date will be announced soon!

I can’t believe it’s nearly 30 years since we launched our home built boat Valiam. She’s taken us on so many adventures which we hope to add to in the not too distant future.

If you wish to pre order a copy it will be $45 plus postage and I will sign it of course with a free card of my artwork. 😍

I was very pleased Rotary Iluka approached me about using one of my mermaid artworks for the logo for the upcoming Mermaid Festival next year. It will be great! Anyone who knows me knows I love mermaids and I’m a bit obsessed with them! Here’s my Happy Mermaid. And here’s the link to the Mermaid Festival 🧜🏻‍♀️
