The Motion of the Ocean

The humorous true story of a woman who abandons her tidy life to honeymoon across the Pacific on a leaky, old boat—only to find that sailing 17,000 miles is easier than keeping her relationship off the rocks. The passage from First Date to First Mate is anything but smooth sailing.

Author's Note: This is not an old mariner's sea story that ends with us in a life raft, bending earrings for fishhooks and contemplating eating each other's limbs. Rather, this is an adventure love story that happens to take place on a very small sailboat. If that's not your cup of tea, please, for your sake, go fish.
