Awesome Reading Experience!

This is a wonderful story of two brave people who do what most people only dream of doing... Marcia is an amazing writer, and this book will make you feel like you are right there with them and Moongazer... It's very well writen, very entertaining, and a very, very good read!Great book!!

The best of the genre.

Almost everyone who does any significant amount of ocean cruising in a modestly sized sailboat trys to write a book about it. Marcia Pirie just happens to be witty, clever, literate , an unusually keen observer, and a very superior writer so her "we chucked it all, bought a boat and sailed the ocean blue" book is vastly superior to most others of the genre. Not so much a "how to" book as a "why you might want to" book. An armchair sailor's delight.
