Summary

"Heather Lyn Mann was a battle-weary environmental advocate in Madison, Wisconsin, distraught and hopeless about climate change, when she and her husband decided to explore the Atlantic on a small sloop. This memoir of six years living afloat is a chronological unfolding of disasters and discoveries--life-threatening storms, sinking ships, near collisions, the boredom of isolation, societies on the brink of extinction, Caribbean characters, a pirate scare, and more. Throughout, the ocean becomes Mann's teacher, transforming her with uncompromising lessons on how to harmonize with natural order, and the exact moments and ways to learn fearlessness, resilience, happiness, impermanence, balance, compassion, skillful action, and beginner's mind."--Page [4] of cover
