In spite of the dangers of sailing small boats around Cook Strait and surviving a gunfight with one of the most ferocious musket armed tribes in New Zealand, Maurice O’Brien made his home in this far flung new British colony.
He built a little cottage by the sea, started a family and was as content as he thought is was possible to be. But the call of Ireland tears is loyalty in two when he least expects it. Is the land of his birthplace still his real homeland? Maurice sets sail again to find out.
Maurice is horrified at what he discovers. Should he stay and help his homeland rebuild or return to his family a whole world away with an equal measure of problems?
Each chapter is based on true stories from around New Zealand and beyond. Nelson, Wellington, Kapiti, Cook Strait, Hokianga, Kawhia, Whanganui, Taranaki. He also revisits Port Jackson in Australia and the Seas in between.
