Description
Having graduated without distinction in 1958 from Fresno State College, 22-year-old John Kessell had no job interviews lined up, no letters of acceptance from grad schools, so the natural course seemed what's called these days a "gap year." Why shouldn't he travel to Australia, his father's native land, and get to know his Aussie kin?When these generous Australians refused to let the young American spend any money, he still had so many unspent travelers' checks that he was able to trade his round-trip Sydney-San Francisco for a one-way Sydney-Gibraltar. Why not go on around the world, not his original plan?John Kessell had no idea in 1958 what sailing on an ocean liner from San Francisco to Sydney might be like. Those were still the days when people took a boat to get somewhere, not just an over-hyped "cruise" on a floating amusement park. So let's step back sixty-five years, retrofit our passports, and join John on a boat to somewhere!
