L&l Pardey Books

Lin has voyaged more than 210,000 miles on boats ranging from 24 feet to more than 60 feet in length. Her seminars, the 12 books and 5 videos she created, have encouraged thousands of potential voyagers to set sail. After 47 years of voyaging she settled in at her homebase in New Zealand, to care for Larry through his decline due to Parkinson’s disease and dementia. With Larry now in full time care, she has once again set sail towards Australia as crew on David Haigh’s 40 foot Van de Stadt, Sahula. Between return visits to see Larry, she looks forward to sharing more cruising.

Current residence: Lin divides her time between her home base on Kawau Island, New Zealand and where ever she may be voyaging on board Sahula. Currently Sahula is in Tasmania.
