But on nights like this, under a sky full of stars and our spinnaker full of warm trade wind pulling us deeper into the South Pacific Ocean, I see how very lucky we truly are to be here

The blog was written as a travelogue and I wrote little about my personal life or how I was feeling along the way. This book fills in those gaps and tells a more complete story, a...
