On 1 March 1998 Willie and Lynette set sail from Saldanha Bay, South Africa, on a voyage around the world. They complete the voyage when their catamaran moors to the same jetty in Saldanha Bay on 21 January 2001. For three years Cape Song is their home, alone on the oceans. Living close to nature, they experience violent storms and visit exotic islands introducing them to wonderful new cultures. An adventure allotted to few people.

In To Sea at Sixty the author shares the couple’s experience with the reader, narrating the bitter and sweet of everyday life at sea.

"Anxiously I watched as Willie climbed down the ladder and plunged into the depths. I followed. Under the water I was surrounded by an eerie silence. The sun's brilliant light rays reached down into the depths. Every now and then Willie would come up for air and a dive down again to cut the line away from the propeller, piece by piece. I could feel my heart pounding in my throat as I searched the water for a dark shadow.

What if I spot a shark? Should I dive down and warn Willie? What if it attacks us? Please God, don’t let that happen!"
