A family of 5, a dog, and a cat move onto a sailboat. Hiilarious True story “Wonderfully told story that kept me laughing. I couldn’t stop reading because I had to know, what next?!” “I laughed, I cried, and I jumped up and down screaming ‘Yes! That’s TOTALLY how it is!’” “A good read for a rainy day. Never a dull moment” “A heartwarming true tale that underscores the importance of never giving up on your dreams!” “This is a really fun read about adventures of a sailing family. I had many laugh out loud moments and could relate all too well !” “Loved it! Well written and your love of family and adventure was evident in this epic tale.” “An account of a family spending a year on a boat. I am amazed at the courage (or ignorance, LOL) it took to make this journey.” “I can’t help but think of Dave Barry-level writing humor as I read And then we hit a rock. Or Michael Lewis’ Homegame.” “This is a must-read for anyone who wants to be inspired by a dream or just laugh at the everyday comical experiences we can all relate to.” “This book is a heartfelt exploration of the ups and downs of chasing dreams, reminding us that setbacks are just part of the journey.” “A tale proving out that seizing the opportunity to chase your dreams, however challenging, is worth it especially if you have your family by your side.” “I love Jimmy Buffet, rum and bikinis, all of which are the reasons I’m not buying a boat. Good book. You did it. You lived.👊” Did you know that the remora fish will try to swim up a whale shark's butt when they poop? The crew of Twig didn't. It turns out there was an awful lot the family of five didn’t know when they decided to move aboard and set off for adventure on the high seas. After decades of dreaming the explorers finally sailed off into the sunset. Yes, they found the palm trees and coconuts they had longed for, but they also glimpsed the other side of paradise. They ran from waterspouts, dodged hurricanes, got (sort of) robbed by pirates, and played chicken with naval warships. They also found themselves making emergency calls to the Coast Guard in the dead of night and learning the exact purpose of a nut jiggler during a late-night beach bonfire. Join as the inevitable is pondered after a meal of coffee and chili on a night watch in “What if I have to go poo?”. Commiserate the anxiety of the hurricane season and practice dodging rogue unmanned boats during a midnight tropical storm. Laugh at the captain’s intimate misfortunes with marine toilets, taste what a pirate smells like, and discover how not to get crabs in this page-turning journey of the East Coast. You are invited to follow along with the frustration and joy of a life newly discovered afloat a 46-foot catamaran. Remember: If everything had gone exactly as planned….it wouldn’t have been much of an adventure.
