Opis

An adventure that proves that dreams really do come true...Imagine the adventure of a lifetime. Outrageous. Dangerous. Exhilarating. Life Was A Cabaret is such a story - a true narrative of fear and audaciousness, adventure and arrogance, growth and humility. Coffields adventure/travel memoir details the six years the author and her husband lived and traveled aboard their Cal 2-34. From Oregon, through the Inside Passage to Alaska and back, down the coast of North America to Acapulco and thence across 3,000 miles of ocean to Nuku Hiva, the Tuomotos, the Societies, Hawaii, and finally back home, Coffields book entertains and educates. The Coffields, never having before sailed, learned many (if not most) lessons about seamanship and cruising the hard way. Readers will find good suggestions, lots of chuckles, and information from the authors often humorously related accounts. The book could almost be a primer for "what not to do while sailing," except for the Coffields enthusiasm, delightful eagerness, and youthful impulsiveness. The book is a manifestation that "dreams really do come true." Readers will be inspired, amused, and sometimes even appalled throughout the pages of Life Was A Cabaret.This is a reissue of this title and includes 15 never-before-published photos.
