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.

The out-pour of love for my book, Swell, has my heart soaring! After giving everything I had into sharing my story with the world, it's been so rewarding to receive all the wonderful positive feedback via messages, emails, comments, and awards since it's release. Swell sold out of it's first…
It was shocking to think that in the 7 years I’d owned Swell, my dear father had NEVER sailed with me!?!…He’d spent more than a dad’s share of hours working aboard Swell while she was tied to the dock in Santa Barbara and when he came to my rescue in…
A few mornings later I stared intently at my computer screen in the belly of Swell, under deadline to finish a photo caption piece for Patagonia's new story-telling internet forum, the Tin Shed. I heard a strong gust of wind followed by a squall rain but in my intent to…
