This book depicts numerous serious and comical situations that may have prevented or delayed the around-the-world voyage of TRANCE, an Island Packet 45-foot sailboat. Many incidents were avoided with appropriate preparation, planning and risk avoidance practices. Yet, others were averted by sheer luck and mitigating action. "If you attempt to be completely prepared for a sailboat journey, you may never cast off your dock lines to depart" "I'll be the first to admit that we and the boat were not 100% prepared to sail around the world, yet it seemed all was ready and safe enough to begin" "When we finish our journey around the world, we will finally be ready and prepared to start the trip"
