Bill Gasson and his book about about sailing from Yokohama to Los Angeles. The entries, which he tapped out on a typewriter, now feature in a book called The Okeanos Trip: From Yokohama to Los Angeles. Joe had completed a trip from Papua New Guinea to Yokohama which Bill wrote an article about. When they reached Los Angeles, Joe breezily told journalists "an old woman in a rocking chair could have done it". Copies of The Okeanos Trip: From Yokohama to Los Angeles, costing $25 each, can be purchased via wm.gasson@gmail.com.
