Answers
The author undertook the sea journey to duplicate round-the-world-voyage undertaken by Captain James Cook 200 years ago. The narrator and his wife had great interest in seafaring. To complete the journey successfully, the narrator and his wife practiced and honed their sailing skills for 16 years in the rough British waters. The author had got a special boat, Wavewalker built for this purpose.
Answer:
The narrator and his family loved adventures. The narrator wanted to duplicate the 'round-the-world' voyage made by the famous explorer Captain James Cook 200 years ago. So, he set sail in Wavewalker, a boat specially designed and made for the purpose. Perhaps the dangers and adventure involved in the voyage and their desire to accomplish something unique beckoned them to undertake the journey.
