Reviews for Ghost Sea:
“A great read; not only a gripping story but also one of the most dramatic and detailed sailing adventures of all time.” —Walter Cronkite

I have just heard about these books in a great interview that brought memories back from our livaeaboards days. The interview enlightened me while i had been recovering from surgery so I am going to try once again to pursue things we care most. I purchased these two books for Christmas gifts for my husband with whom I share our humble but precious life. After he finishes them, I will definitely read them. Thanks for your wisdom and congrats to your wonderful year at the vineyard.
