Windward to Fantasia Andrew Stransky

An adventurous young couple sailing the world on a shoestring have their world turned upside down when their baby girl is born. Overcoming constant challenges they strive towards an exciting heyday, winning races, battling storms and dodging pirates. An inspiring, fast moving story of exotic travel. A compelling story for sailors, travellers and armchair travellers alike, carefully crafted to inspire your own dreams. A tale of overcoming life's constant challenges and turning them into beautiful experiences. In the words of Australia's most famous sailor John Bertrand AO, Skipper of Australia 11, Americas cup winner- "Reading Andrew Stransky's book, there are no limitations on what people can achieve. To have the audacity to sail so far with so few resources, family in tow and together enmeshed in this amazing adventure just demonstrates again how we as humans can achieve anything if we want to." Windward to Fantasia is akin to a modern day version of South Seas Vagabond by J. W. Wray. It also sports elements of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M Pirsig, only of course on a yacht. It would sit alongside such titles as The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow by A. J Mackinnon or Author Ransomes Swallows and Amazons. A delightful, positive story of the sea, suitable for adventurous readers of any age.
