As Long As It’s Fun: The Epic Voyages and Extraordinary Times of Lin and Larry Pardey

By Herb McCormick ’78. Paradise Cay Publications. January 2014. Through interviews with their families, friend, and critics, McCormick delves  into the Pardeys’ often-controversial opinions, sometimes-tenuous marriage and amazing list of accomplishments. As Long as It’s Fun is as much a love story as it is a sea yarn, and, like all such stories, it’s not without complications, which makes it not only a sailing tale but also a human one.
