Opis

Have you ever had an overpowering urge to leave it all behind and sail off to a tropical island? The desire of the ordinary landlubber to go to sea is as old as mankind itself. Here is the true story of how my wife and I became captured by the powerful allure of the sea. This is book one of a four book series. 'Quest and Crew' begins hours before a hurricane of unimaginable destructive force obliterates the south shore of Grenada. Luckily, Quest survives without a scratch. It's a story about how life's many twists and turns, fortune and disaster, can change your path but make you stronger. In chapter three you will discover how Quest gained a new lease on life with a complete retrofit in the backwoods of our home in North Carolina. Soon you will be off to North Palm Beach, Florida. On a clear starry night, we leave America behind and sail over the horizon on a hope enveloped by a dream. We are at the beginning of our new adventure. Sailing and anchoring one island at a time, we earn our stripes the hard way as we cruise through the northern Bahamas. 'Quest and Crew' is a glimpse into the powerful attraction of sailboats and sapphire water. It is all about the joy of success as well as what it takes to overcome the occasional disaster. From beginning to end, the book is about transforming a rookie crew and beautiful old boat into a sailing adventure. Come for the hurricane, stay for the story.
