Book excerpt: The Mereleigh Record Club Cruise of the South Pacific captures the thrilling journey taken by a group of friends in their chartered sailing ship. They encounter much more than they bargained for when they become entangled with Japanese fascists on the high seas. Hunting for lost gold, rescuing survivors on a sinking ship, and being captured by pirates, mark just some of their unexpected adventures. Fact and fiction are interwoven in this exciting novel based on two historic events. The first involves gold stolen during World War II. Then there’s the curious tale of the Joyita, an island trader found adrift and abandoned in 1955. The merchant vessel’s twenty-five passengers and crew were never found.
