This book has never been on the New York Times Best Seller list, or any list for that matter. Nor has it been evaluated by any critics. Some suggest that, in and of itself, is not, necessarily, a bad thing.It is a factual recollection, written at the time, by a woman raising a child and doing her best to support her husband's dream of building a boat and sailing around the world, while cooking meals, doing laundry and laboring to keep their "home" maintained A mammoth undertaking.There are no murders, albeit seriously considered, upon occasion! No crimes, although crimes were committed. No gratuitous sex. No pornography.Much research was done to include as many photographs, taken at the time, to illustrate and illuminate the text, which gives the reader a sense of "being there", on this incredible journey.It is, however, a Journal of the routine (and not so routine) of a small family of travellers and their encounters along the way. What was done in the early 60s is nothing like it may be done today…no smartphones, no GPS, no internet! How did they manage?Find out in this gripping tale of persistence, determination and piracy, Imagine if it were you…what would you do? Read how this family overcame all adversities! And thrived!
