This is a true story of adventure aboard a small sailboat.
It's a book not just about sailing but about life. Good times and bad.
It's about what happens at the very limits of physical, emotional, and mental capacity.
Ultimately it's about how personal tragedy led to a life-changing discovery - The realisation that hidden deep inside of us all is the perseverance and passion needed for achieving long–term goals.
It's a book that might just start you on your own Foolish Voyage.
