Overview

It seems my life began with sailing, the author's mother wrote. During those ten years, every sense, every emotion, and all mental and physical energies were pushed to their extremes. This is the story of the author's parents who, at age fifty-five, quit their jobs, sold their home, bought a sailboat and, for ten years, circumnavigated the globe. The circumnavigation is told through ship logs and letters home. The author begins with their backgrounds, descriptions of their personalities, and early travel and ends in their twilight years. This book champions all those who are adventurous enough to leave their comfortable home port and venture out into unknown waters. Like the author's mother wrote: There is nothing to be afraid of way out at sea, with no land in any direction for thousands of miles. There's only the sea, the wind, the stars, and God's universe.
