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!
In fact, water usage is rather liberal here. It falls enough from the sky year round that people leave water running all over the place! In fact, the locals told me to let the water run for half an hour before filling up my drinking water bottles to assure clean potable water…So I was using the half-hour of flowing water to do laundry! Even then, it felt odd to leave it running for half an hour, I kept having an impulse to turn it off and then kept telling myself, “Oh yeah, let ‘er flow…” …and Heather, if Pearl wants a crewing position when she’s a little older, it sounds that she’s got the right attitude! :)
Doing laundry by hand will probably be my five year old’s favorite part of living on a boat. At least it was Pearl’s favorite part of being in Mexico for a month. She would even choose to do laundry over swimming. And she loves swimming. I’ll have to show her this picture to get her excited about foot laundry!

February 6, 2012I saw that too, Kevin. I can’t believe Liz would leave the water running. Must not have a valve.
