1: If you are looking for inspiration to sail around the world this is not the book.
This is the story of a rich woman with a husband that takes a sabbatical, so he can sail around the world. They start out with a good boat then decide that it is not big enough and by a brand new "big" one. Lots of stories about other peoples shipwrecks and pirates, playing golf and tennis along the way.
It is not a bad book but she does not have much to say other than she enjoyed the voyage and loved to live the good life.

2: Could not put it down
So well written...I did not want to lay it down. It is a wonderful story about two newly married people on a voyage around the world on a sail boat. I found it so interesting and informative. If you are thinking about an around the world sailing adventure...please read this first!

3: Serendipitous Find
A few weeks back I was stuck in JFK during a travel mess caused by software and weather. During the long, long layover, I met an interesting fellow, Bill Blodgett, the wife of the author. What an amazing and modest man. At some point he asked if I had interest in sailing and one thing led to another before he mentioned a seven year honeymoon around the world. One result of the trip was this wonderful little book. Although we will likely never meet, I have to say "Thank you Alicia!" for sharing your wonderful story and thanks to Bill for telling me about it.

4: Great start
I loved the adventure described by Ms. Blodgett. The first half of the book was very captivating, but the author seemed to fizzle out towards the end leaving a lot of unanswered questions.

5: Best First Chapter Ever Written
Read the first chapter- the rest is only great but the first is a complete dream come true. Enjoy- I did.
