FROM THE BACK
From culture shock to cone-shell poison, what better way to experience the highs and lows of global ocean travel than through the words of the captain’s mate, mother of two…teenaged boys. Lona Gray chronicled every aspect of their sailing adventure from how to find and prepare meals, how to repair engines, how to avoid monsoons, how to educate teenagers, and how to stay sane living in small quarters far from all the comforts…of stateside living. Through Lona’s words, we see and feel Captain Bobby’s frustrations and triumphs, we meet their new friends, and we experience the rush of unexpected weather.

EXCERPT

"Bobby got the bow into our slip, Michael got a line to Robby, and I got my line around the piling and held as tight as I could. All of a sudden, I was sitting on the deck and Immanuel was making frightening noises. I grabbed my line again thinking I had done something horribly wrong. then I realized that not only were we still going forward, but we seemed to have picked up speed. Bobby turned off the engine and left the helm and there was the echo of a tremendous bang in my ears."
