IF YOU WANT TO DO IT. DO IT!
This book won't tell you what to do. It will tell you what it gives, what it takes and what it costs.
A funny, honest guide to designing a life most people only daydream about
Eight years sailing around the world with three kids: what it really takes to escape the rat race.
Paperback £12.99 · Ebook £4.99
Following six talks at the Southampton Boat Show, the book that started as a story about running away to sea turned into one about coming home again.
WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT
Part story, part practical guide to what it really takes to leave and go sailing for years. In 2017 Woody, his wife Irenka and their three children sold almost everything, moved onto a boat and spent eight years sailing around the world: 40,000 miles and 40 countries and territories.
Each practical question is answered through what actually happened to them: the money, choosing and fixing a boat, schooling the kids, life at sea, and the part most adventure stories leave out, coming home. The maintenance bills sit beside the turquoise lagoons, the marriage friction beside the once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
This book won't tell you what to do. It will tell you what it gives, what it takes and what it costs.
