Sailing the Dream by John F. McGrady

Talk about taking you somewhere! This couple took a vacation to Bora Bora and then decided they wanted to sail there, and they did. It took some doing, but reading about their adventure was so pleasurable. They started up in Washington and made their way down the west coast before they headed west across the ocean. The downsizing they did and the learning curve was immense and they had a great time. Their son ended up going with them and they all learned so much about each other and the world all I could do was smile. This in no means makes me want to sail across the ocean, but to be the armchair traveler was a great invitation into this part of their lives. It was a book that left me feeling like I knew them and could spend time with them. Just a wonderful book.
