On a hilarious side adventure, we have a memorable encounter with \"The Angel of Craig's Point.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, Buckley navigates among pleasant diversions as well as unforeseen navigational and philosophical shoals. He adroitly excerpts the candid journals of his shipmates, notably that of his son, Christopher, himself a best-selling novelist. The fine photographs by Christopher Little illustrate throughout. When Buckley's\u003ci\u003e Sealestial\u003c\/i\u003e sails, finally, into New Guinea, we have shared a unique experience with a special breed of sailor, skipper, host, friend, and human being. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Frank Buckley Jr\u003c\/b\u003e. was an American public intellectual, conservative author, and political commentator.
