Opis

In No Fixed Address: Tales of a Reluctant Sailor Heather Morgan tells what it's really like to leave behind a comfortable life in the suburbs to permanently live aboard a 56-foot Oyster sailboat. Married to an enthusiastic and experienced sailor, Heather, the reluctant first mate, charms readers with her unique British humor as she explains how she survived a hurricane, prepared gourmet meals in a tiny galley, and conquered her fear of deep water. Heather's story traces her sailing adventures south through the West Indies, west across the remote Venezuelan Islands, all the way down to the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao). Along with her comical and sometimes terrifying accounts, she weaves in original recipes, illustrations, photographs and useful insider's Island information and history. Stories of Pirates, shipwrecks, storms and sea-monsters all come to life in this one-of-a-kind travelers tale. Anyone who has ever fantasized about leaving behind conventional living and running away to sea will find this a compelling read.
