Review
�Best of the best,�October 18, 2013By�Richard MulyeThis review is from:�Days of D�j� vu (Kindle Edition)I've been a sailor 61years and have read a great many sailing stories , many of those of tough single handlers as I could find. This story is the best that I have read,hands down. I've done much ocean sailing and a small bit of single handing and will read this again. I commend this author for writing a story that is very easily understood and very factual.God bless him.

�Days of Deja vu,�December 10, 2012By�Charlotte K. BeallThis review is from:�Days of D�j� vu (Kindle Edition)This is a fabulous story of true experiences that held my attention from beginning to end! Even the nautical technical language (of which I know nothing about) did not dampen my enjoyment of this book. I have met the author and encouraged him to write more.
From the Author
Born and raised in South Africa, in 1954. Siblings include a twin brother and a sister. Born in the gold mining city of Johannesburg, of Scottish parents. Educated at Roosevelt high school, although Reid left school a year early to pursue his dreams. A shy, withdrawn and artistic nature helped carve his future. Reid was physically strong, and very determined disposition, which assisted him greatly in an early army stint, and later, during his boat building and sailing years. He lives on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kauai, with his twin brother, where the two work together and play music in rock bands. Reid has a married son, with a young boy.
From the Inside Flap
A true account of a young man who dreamed of building an ocean going sailing boat, and sailing away to explore foreign shores around the world. �His dream comes true, and Reid describes his days of building his dream boat with his Californian wife in South Africa. His idyllic, lazy days he spent on a fresh water lake one hundred miles from Johannesburg, where the boat was built, and the subsequent adventures they had when the boat was trucked to Cape Town.
His years of hard work paid off when he and his young crew finally took off to sea and sailed to exotic places and islands in the Caribbean and Pacific seas. He and his crew experienced adventures, storms, romance, and well described, thrilling sailing as good as it gets out on the deep blue seas.....

Time machine
By Titus Bontea
First, the "legal" disclosure. I am myself a old salt and as such a sucker and bias towards any sea story. As such, there are a lot of details I was able to read between the lines which may escape to the uninitiated. The book, probably intentionally, is not heavy on technical details, yet there is enough to satisfy the likes of me. I named the review, time machine, because in fast changing contemporary settings, the story take place in seemingly much distanced past. Many of us experienced a different world, sadly now rapidly disappearing. When I left the ocean as a career, I did so mainly because the "romance of the sea" has been replaced by the commercial "necessities" of the shipping business. The book, in that respect is a "walk on memory lane" book. Like in good play, the settings and the props (the ocean the boat and the crew) helps but is the script is what really,really pulls it through. It is above all, a candid human story of pursuing one's dream and pulling it through. In that respect, is inspirational. I am not a literary critic, but the flow of the book makes it hard to put it down and unlike fiction, this is a real and thus so much more compelling story.

Almost gave up on this book
By scc
I managed to read this book in its entirety, but came close to giving it up several times. While I admire the author for his courage and determination, it was hard to read through lurid stories about how he, in his early thirties, slept with countless women as young as twenty, including married women and those with absent boyfriends. He also appears a little misogynistic at times, describing one young woman he met as a trollop (he slept with her anyway). Like the reviewer who pointed out the inconsistencies with his trip to Australia, I wonder how much of this is the wishful thinking of a man whose wife left him because of his carousing and drinking. I ended up finishing it because I am a sailor and was interested in reading about the little Pacific islands he and his brother visited, and the vivid accounts of his long passages, where one cannot escape windless and sometimes stormy conditions.

A Lecher's Great Adventure
By Deb's Guy
I almost didn't read this book. If it is fiction, anything goes. If it is an autobiography; a memoir in this case the character of the author cannot be ignored. Almost from the beginning this man tells us he lives with a woman for a year, marries her, has a child with her and she spends five years helping him build a boat. Then with little explanation he ships her and his son off to live with relatives. In the next chapter he's off on his grand adventure with a German boy and a young English girl with whom he has enjoyable sex. When she leaves, he seduces a teenage girl. At this point the English girl might well say, "This bloke is a blighter, a bounder and a bugger!" If you are writing about yourself as this man does the reader must consider that character does count, and it was at this point that I almost deleted the book. I'm glad I didn't. I am a sailor and this man's descriptions of ocean sailing are accurate, intriguing and beautifully depicted.
His explorations of the South Pacific are also well described for the period in which he explored that area. He doesn't miss a chance to blind side America with a cheap shot, which is odd from one who comes from South Africa, but he's quick to take advantage of the inexpensive and readily available provisions the American ports provide. And in the end, he decides that since Hawaii is a U.S. state, maybe America isn't so bad even though (he says) that Hawaiians hate it. (If I'm not mistaken, Hawaii campaigned a LONG time to become the 50th state.)
Perhaps I am a prude. Maybe it is the custom in South Africa; possibly world-wide morals have reached a new low - but in my neighborhood men in their thirties having sex with teen age girls is not considered good form.
Later in the book he does make a long and self-serving penance to his ex-wife, but we all know why she left him and took the child. Past performance is a good predictor of future actions. He was obviously a neglectful, alcoholic, womanizing husband. More than enough reason for her decision. And he continues this pattern all through his travels on the sea. He professes to love his child but he comes off as a selfish person who takes from everyone but gives back very little of himself. Not an admirable trait.
As one reviewer points out it is hard to decipher what is fact and what may be the fantasy of an old man reliving his youth through eyes dimmed with an additional thirty years of age before he decided to write his memoir. If you can ignore the possibly intentional "sexy" parts of this book, the descriptive writing and ocean sailing experience is excellent and does make it a worthwhile read.
