Opis

At the peak of their careers, Anne Brevig and Martin Vennesland made the decision of their lives: they chose freedom and a highly uncertain future on the high seas instead of secure jobs and the safety and comfort of life ashore. In order to finance their dream, they sold their house and most of their belongings and moved onboard their 40-foot sailboat. It became their one and only home for 15 years. Neither imagined that they were going to spend 9 years on the 7 seas and journey more than 56,000 nautical miles. Back on terra firma, their once-in-a-lifetime adventure, which was packed with drama and excitement, was immortalized in a beautiful coffee table book, "9 Years on the 7 Seas." It quickly became a bestseller, and when it sold out in paper format, the adventurous couple decided to share their experiences with the world in the equally exciting "Seven Seas Adventures" Series, which is now available both in print and several eBook formats. Anne and Martin's blue water adventure is not about breaking any records. Its main focus is meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures - encounters that take on entirely different dimensions when sailing off the beaten track far away from the traditional tourist routes. Anne and Martin crossed the big oceans and visited 76 countries and island nations. They realized their dreams. Now, they hope that their books in the "Seven Seas Adventures" Series, which are saturated with enchanting encounters, danger and unique experiences, will inspire others to pursue their own dreams - whatever they may be. At least, to "dare to take the leap." The Series certainly gives a rare opportunity to live vicariously in theirs, and their beloved sailboat, "NOR SIGLAR'S" wake.
