Overview

Two strangers, Two antique boats, One crazy idea... * Bill is a gruff combat veteran and loner who fishes for a living. Rebecca's a shy, young woman giving up a career and home ownership. The two become unlikely friends and discover that they have more in common than they'd realized. They both own antique, live-aboard sailboats. They also shared the dream of cruising. Side by side, they finally escape over the horizon and spur each other into experiencing a new and radically different life. A bond of friendship and trust develops. * Informative, entertaining, and even titillating at times, this book shares a decade of sailing adventures. Not independently wealthy, Bill and Rebecca still work to earn a living during and in between seasonal journeys. What it's like to live-aboard a traveling boat, on a budget, from a solo-sailing woman's perspective. * This intriguing story shares the usual: violent storms, serene sailing moments, moonlight shimmering on the endless ocean, different cultures and people, and pink-sand beaches. There's also the uncommon: a bizarre rescue, hurricanes, squirrel attacks, mysterious wrecks, an exploding sailboat, and a deceased outlaw grandmother. Useful cruising information on parts of the Bahamas, bonus chapters on fishing while underway and basic information on living aboard. Note: Chapters 1-6 offer background & details on the Hows and Whys of living aboard (little action, mostly explanation). The real action and actual sailing adventures begin on Chapter 7 to Chapter 39. * Includes 28 black & white photographs.
