One Man's Dream - One Woman's Reality Sharon Reed-hendricks 1.º edición

In August of 1999 Steve and Sharon Hendricks untied their dock lines and left their marina in Washington state to sail the world aboard their 37 foot sail boat Poet?s Place. This is the story of their six year journey half way around the world. They tell about the storm that almost devastated the trip and the pirate encounter off Colombia. They describe the beautiful enchanting islands and countries they visited and the wonderful people they met along the way that touched their lives and their hearts. They don?t hide how difficult it gets when sailing a boat for weeks in the open sea looking at the same person night and day. So many folks of the baby boomer age are wondering if they can retire and live their dream on limited funds?and this is the true story of how they did it on a shoestring budget. It?s an adventure book, a travel journey, a technical journal and love story rolled into one. It?s written from her point of view and his point of view?very different. It?s also the story of the five years it took to rebuild the boat and prepare themselves for this journey and the emotional part of leaving friends and family behind. So come along as they take you on the epic journey of One Man?s Dream and One Woman?s Reality.
