    Readers will marvel at the warmth, generosity and wisdom the world had to offer them on this journey of a lifetime.What began as letters to family and friends ultimately became an engaging book that chronicles the realization of a lifelong dream of the author and his wife to explore the world on a sailboat and is a powerful testament to the life and love that flourished during their five-year “world-wind” voyage.
