Solo Circumnavigation

A little more realism and a whole lot less razzamatazz and, maybe, she would have stood a better chance of success?

At the very least she could have ensured herself a far happier experience. Maybe the 'cheerleaders' might like to ponder on their uncritical commendations in light of the sad outcome of this ignorant and arrogant venture.

I have to say, this is some of the most entertaining reading I've had in months! Woman sets out on ambitious circumnav, hits some minor snags, and gives up on the dream after 100 miles under the keel. Meanwhile, the proud father (why is there always a father like this in the story?) alienates everyone with his arrogance and makes the whole thing that much sadder and stranger.

Wow! Do you think maybe Captain Heather should have picked her way down the coast to the Keys and island-hopped down the thorny path to learn her boat and her trade before putting out to sea?

Gerry was absolutely right! You need more than a dreaming soul to sail around the world.

... and she says if you haven't got anything nice to say keep quiet!

I'm not holding my breathe on this one!
