Few wrote better modern day voyaging accounts than Hiscock.

At over 70 years old Eric Hiscock and his wife Susan crossed the Pacific from their home in New Zealand to the West Coast of Canada in the steel ketch Wanderer IV. They changed their boat for the return a smaller sloop-rigged yacht. Job 40 as it was known was transformed into Wanderer V. It was not plain sailing on the return and repairs and modifications were required along the way and she still had snags as she reached her final destination Pittwater, near Sydney.

Across the Pacific and back with a change of boats – always adventurous Hiscocks
