This book is not only an adventure story of a dramatic voyage -- it is an account of a unique way of life of a race of extraordinary people whose life is ruled by the ocean. It is full of insight and anecdote, heartbreak and final sweetness of success in July 1976 on arrival in Lautoka, Fiji.

Siers was born in Poland in 1936 - 2013 and came to New Zealand as a child in 1944 as an eight-year-old war refugee.
The first time he went to the Pacific was in 1962 or 1963 on a journalistic assignment. After a long career as an author and film maker he moved to Fiji and became a resort owner. With a more than keen interest in the Polynesian islands, its people and its many cultures, James Siers via his books has attempted to show the similarities and differences with the people of the Pacific.
In his book Polynesia in Colour, he takes the reader on a journey through various island nations, from Samoa to Tahiti to New Caledonia.
He had a lengthy association with the Hibiscus Records label as a producer and contributor of its liner notes. Some of his liner notes have appeared on Viking Records releases such as The Family of the Maori, Viking VSP 18.
