I wrote a book!Learn More
While at anchor in the South Pacific, I wrote a book about my voyage. From daunting weather to relationships sweet and sour, wild waves and boat repairs, this very personal memoir shares my many challenges, my search for harmony with nature, and how I come to feel the unity of all things. The team at Patagonia Books, along with illustrator Daniella Manini, bring my story to life with amazing art and four photo galleries. It’s a work of enormous love, with the intention to inspire others to follow their hearts, protect our planet, and live out their dreams. Ask for it in your local independent bookstore, order online, download as an e-book, or listen to me read it as an audiobook. While at anchor in the South Pacific, I wrote a book about my voyage. I’m excited to share the personal story of my voyage with the world. Book available now!

What’s been cooking in the galley…

Posted on May 6, 2010 | 3 Comments

I took advantage of the yard time while waiting for the new tube to arrive, to make some improvements to Swell’s galley. Have a look…

Swell's floors were curved to the hull in the galley area which was causing knee and back aches…Olivier, master wood worker, helped me to build a small step on either side to make the floors flat.

The frames for the new steps.

Self-portrait of me decorating the new floors with mosaic-ed strips of scrap fabric. The intention was to make it # easy to see where the step starts, reduce slipping, and make it look pretty of course…:)

Then commenced an epoxy nightmare, where I poorly mixed the resin to seal the mosaic and spent three days scraping off the sticky, uncured epoxy…I miraculously managed to make them look okay in the end.

The steps finished and set in place…check out my refinished seafoam green countertops, too!

    I’m a follower. What’s the writing there Liz? I can read “Don’t take anything personally.” Are there your rules? :) Cheers to you! to Swell!

    Looks very pretty but why two strips on Port and three on Starboard?

    I’m guessing you can’t wait to get somewhere off shore where there is no smell of resin or varnish!
