Cruising Japan to New Zealand: The Voyage of the Sea QuestFollowing several years spent cruising the South Pacific Islands, Tere Batham and her husband traveled north and settled in Japan. After two and a half years, they set out once again, embarking on a fourteen-month, 10,000-mile voyage back to their home in New Zealand. Accompanied by Miki, a beautiful young Japanese girl eager to escape an arranged marriage and her country's rigorous social restrictions, they navigated the giant whirlpools of Japan's Inland Sea, joined in a torch-lit midnight festival at Kompira San, traversed volcanic coastlines, and threaded narrow channels among scenic islands strewn with temples and lashed by typhoons. Their route took them to Japan's Southern Archipelago, the Taiwan Straits, Hong Kong, Macau, the Philippines, and Micronesia. They discovered the remnants of an ancient South Sea Island culture verging on extinction, explored the daunting ruins of megalithic Nan Madol, endured violent storms, and witnessed a deadly crocodile attack before finally reaching their destination.
