Book Synopsis
As we sailed out of our cove, our home behind us and the complete unknown ahead, I couldn't help thinking that I was leaving everything I knew and loved-with the exception of Michael and Ally. Talk about being pushed past my comfort zone in just about every direction.
Kimberly is a traveler, adventurer and gardener. Not a sailor. Yet she, her husband, and their 10-year-old daughter moved aboard their 34-foot boat for two years and sailed from Massachusetts to Grenada and back.
Packed with detailed information, this is the story of their decision to go, the two years of planning to make it work, plus the first several months they lived aboard. More than a mere guidebook, it is part memoir and part instruction manual for breaking free of the ordinary.
Travelers, gardeners, sailors, and dreamers alike, who seek to live an intentional life, a bit off the beaten path, will find both wisdom and inspiration in this family's adventures.
