This was a rare and unexpected adventure! I was introduced to a lifestyle totally foreign to me - the world of cruising, the seas, and the generosity revealed through the kindnesses of warm people. Through the heart and eyes of one person’s experience of self discovery and transformation, I was gifted with a new perspective. Because of our high-tech culture, we lose the sense of how vast and wondrous this world really is. I would not call this a “religious” book. But in a sense, it tells of story of an unfolding of an open soul. I witnessed the wonders of creation, the power and beauty of God, and the love and grit of humanity - with a deeper sense of awe for it all. 

... If you need an example of encouragement which draws inner strength that you didn’t know you had, then read this book because life is short so -live it to your fullest! 

... This is a story of love and devotion between Nancy and her husband. Cap’n John. It is a story of courage in embracing change. It is a story of kindness, caring, and friendship with those they met along the way. It is a story of celebration of beauty in nature, sea, and life itself. 

... Sailing from the San Francisco Bay to Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Galapagos, French Polynesia, and Hawaii, she shares her experiences of the frequent nail-biting, do or die situations on the ocean, the added challenge of helping her husband manage his newly diagnosed insulin dependency, and the extraordinary kindness and warmth of people she met along the way who forever touched her heart. 

... Nancy is as real and relatable as your own neighbor. She tells a tale of personal development and growth, moving from “I can’t” to “I can,” ...  we all can enjoy and learn from her personal challenges of change, expectations, facing adversity and learning new skills for survival. This book is hard to put down...
