Moira’s Pacific Expedition: 

Tracking Destiny in the South Pacific 

by Richard Chesher, Ph.D. and Frederique Chesher

If you’re drawn to ocean voyaging, nature writing, true sailing adventure, and the deeper questions that arise when you spend long periods at sea, I’d like to introduce my 3‑book Kindle eBook series:

Moira’s Pacific Expedition: 
Tracking Destiny in the South Pacific (3 book series)

This is a true account of a remarkable South Pacific voyage aboard the 44‑foot research vessel Moira—through remote island chains, typhoon-ravaged waters, and living coral seas—told through the eyes of a marine biologist and explorer. The series blends nautical adventure, marine discovery, and a thoughtful exploration of consciousness, awareness, synchronicity, and emergence—the hidden forces that shape life and meaning.

Along the way, the expedition contributes to coral reef ecology and marine conservation, including a historic victory to ban dolphin captivity.

What you’ll explore in the series

  • The evolution of life and consciousness in the living ocean
  • Emergence, inter-species awareness, and synchronicity
  • The biological and cultural treasures of the South Pacific
  • The adventure and philosophy of true bluewater sailing
  • A scientist’s personal journey toward deeper understanding of life’s direction and purpose

Why the series is eBook-only

This series is published as an ebook series by choice. As a lifelong marine scientist and environmentalist, I’ve chosen not to offer these books in print—to help protect forests and reduce industrial pollution associated with paper-based publishing. You can read them on any computer or tablet using the free Kindle app.

Book 1

To Be: 
Navigating the Continuum

(Moira’s Pacific Expedition Tracking Destiny in the South Pacific Book 1)

A true sailing adventure through the South Pacific—where destiny, synchronicity, and the evolution of life converge.

Join the Research Vessel Moira on her first daring expedition as we sail from Taiwan to Australia through pirate-infested waters, raging typhoons, and enchanted island chains—while a series of “impossible coincidences” suggests unseen forces at play.

Voyage through:

  • The pirate-ridden Gauntlet of the South China Sea
  • Hong Kong, the Philippines, Palau, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia.
  • Wild ocean crossings and miraculous encounters

Book 2

To Change: 

Harmonizing Empathy

(Moira’s Pacific Expedition Tracking Destiny in the South Pacific Book 2)

A true story of adventure, discovery, and compassion on the high seas.

In Volume 2, the Moira sails into the remote Louisiade and Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea while conducting marine resource research for the Papua New Guinea Fisheries Department. The voyage then takes an unexpected turn: an encounter in Australia sparks a bold mission to rescue captive dolphins—culminating in a historic legal victory as Victoria and South Australia become the first regions to ban dolphin captivity for entertainment.

In this volume, sail with the Moira through:

  • Isolated coral archipelagos of Papua New Guinea
  • Encounters with vibrant, ancient island cultures
  • Groundbreaking marine biology research
  • The campaign to free dolphins and change public policy
  • Reflections on empathy, awareness, and the delicate balance of life in the ocean

Book 3

To Have Direction:
Resonating with the Observer

(Moira’s Pacific Expedition Tracking Destiny in the South Pacific Book 3)

A thrilling South Pacific voyage—and a profound exploration of life’s deepest mysteries.

The third volume begins in a violent storm at Elizabeth Reef, an uncharted submerged atoll in the Tasman Sea. The journey continues through New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands, Fiji, Wallis Island, Western Samoa, and Tutuila, while exploring one central question:

How do emergent layers of being evolve, communicate, and create the thread of awareness that connects all life?

In this volume, sail with the Moira through:

  • The storm-ravaged Tasman Sea and submerged atolls
  • Remote island chains of the South Pacific
  • Explorations of consciousness and emergent life
  • The evolving thread of awareness across species and systems
  • Reflections on how language shapes and limits our understanding of reality

New Caledonia and Vanuatu Tourism Photography by Richard and Frederique Chesher

Image
New Caledonia and Vanuatu Tourism Photography. I love photography. By the time I was 10, I had my own darkroom and processed films and prints in black and white and then in color. In 1959 I began doing underwater photography in support of my activities as a professional diver and later as a graduate student in marine sciences. I assisted the professional underwater photographer Jerry Greenberg in south Florida and worked as an underwater photographer for Ribikoff Oceanics and Westinghouse. My first published images appeared in National Geographic Magazine in November 1966, and since then, my scientific and travel photographs have been published in so many books and magazines that I have long since lost track of them. My photo agents in London and New York send me lists of sales from time to time. In 2000, Frederique and I began production of travel and cruising guides to Vanuatu and New Caledonia and we specialized in hotel, resort, and tourism photogra...

Community Environmental Research in the Pacific Islands   Richard Chesher, Ph.D  Photographer, Publisher Consultant on Sustainable Development for the Small Island States. Dr. Chesher is an independent Marine Scientist specializing in the impact of humanity on the natural systems of our ocean world. He has sailed the South Pacific aboard the Research Vessel Moira since 1976, seeking an understanding of how and why humans are systematically destroying their ocean and island environment. He has worked with island governments, regional organizations and the United Nations to identify possible ways of changing community behaviour patterns. In the progress of his adventures, Dr. Chesher has sought the fascinating social and evolutionary forces that guide the behaviour of individuals and communities. These concepts are now emerging as a whole new aspect of modern biological science. It is an idea that could never have emerged without the advances in bio-sensory te...
