Ruth Wharram has finally found time to put together a collection of her articles, newletters and diaries, ranging from Living Aboard the "Tangaroa" in 1955 to more recent letters while voyaging in 1994-1997.
It is a facinating booklet telling the most amazing stories of her adventures.
Ruth in 1954 while building Tangaroa, in 1956 in Spain and in 1968 in Deganwy, North Wales.
German born Ruth shared many early pioneering voyages with James. A writer, photograher and first class navigator she made 7 Atlantic crossings, endured a severe gale crossing the Tasman Sea, sailed half way round the world on Spirit of Gaia and made innumerable coastal voyages by catamarans. Her adventures started in the early 1950s and have continued throughout her life.
The final picture is Ruth at 86 years old sailing on the Tahiti Wayfarer in Restronguest Creek!
