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!

I made it safely back to Swell via the cargo ship, but my luck fell short upon my return. I ate a fish contaminated with ciguaterra poisoning last Sunday and have been extremely ill for the last few days. The good news is that I’m healthy enough to have walked across the boatyard to the internet station to write this! The worst is over and I’ll get better gradually over the next few weeks…I have very limited internet connection and energy for the moment, so please be patient for emails and the many stories that are in line to be posted…

In the meantime, stay inspired and remember to appreciate your health!! xoxo, Liz

    Sorry to hear of the bad fish, but glad to hear you’re mending. Feel better and thanks for all you do for those of us temporarily landlocked.

    Cheers,

    It’s not healthy to be sick. Hope you feel better soon.

    You are a very lucky lady – ciguatera poisoning is very often fatal. Being fit and healthy probably gave you a better outcome than, say, me? I’ve been reading these for years but this latest one disturbed me to comment at last.
