Enjoyed reading about the author's experience and greatly admire her courage. I expected more emotional depth and self-reflection (rather than simple rehashing of the past) that I assumed would be included in a book with such a promising title.

A good realistic look at what it takes to buy a boat, learn to handle the boat and the first 1000 mile journey. I'd always had this fantasy that it would be great to just buy a sailboat (I'm too frugal to pay for gas) and take off. Mary choose a motored boat as it would be easier to learn. What I learned is that my easy life fantasy would probably get me killed. Thank you Mary you may have saved my life!

The book is amusing and well-written (the career South abandoned was in the book publishing industry, after all) and the first 2/3 of the book is an interesting account of how South threw over one life for another. But the final third of the book, while interesting in a navel-gazing sort of way, leaves the rest of South’s life hanging: in the end, we aren’t sure what is going to happen (will she keep the boat? Sell the boat?) but South assures us the adventure was worth whatever else may come her way.… (más)
