This very un-PC book is an account of a 1920-21 circumnavigation of the world in a 99-foot power-yacht (state-of-art for the time) by a wealthy Chicago cement-magnate and his wife and crew.

Different cultures are encountered, bad weather, risky close-calls, hard conditions and of course, exotic, faraway locales (many decades before Club Med and Hotel Chains spread worldwide)----All aptly and vividly described by Australian writer Dale Collins, who was onboard for the majority of the voyage.
The book is a window into another era. The reader can't help appreciate the changes that have swept the world since, some good, some bad.
This book comes from a time when there were still parts of the world that were relatively unexplored and mysterious.

If you like Sea-Tales, epsecially true ones, this is a volume
you shouldn't miss.
