Family Voyaging - Ak to nZ: A Complete Guide to Family Survival

Family Voyaging - Ak to nZ is truly a book for everyone, not just for those who are about to embark on a family sailing adventure.

Part I is The Narrative, the thrilling story of our own personal voyage -- on the ocean, amid foreign surroundings, and deep within ourselves. It is the tale of a modern American family who chose to do something unique with its life. Here is the high adventure and excitement, the soul-searching, the newfound relationships and the fulfillment of a quest not unlike those of early explorers. No punches are pulled; the good, the bad and the ugly are given equal treatment as the story unfolds over a three-year period. Our fervent hope is that your connection to other human beings will be on a decidedly stronger footing after vicariously experiencing our Voyage of Discovery.

Part II is The Glossary where the crew takes direct aim at the crucial subjects -- in an A to Z alphabetized format -- to be pondered before casting off your lines, physically and emotionally. The result is a humorous, enlightening, serious, poignant and practical amalgam of the inner workings of a family expedition into itself. It is not a collection of technical terms and nautical gobbledygook. This section covers over 150 topics ranging from Anchoring to Zephyrs and everything in between. Each subject is treated as an individual short story. It's an entertaining read straight through, or you may choose specific subjects from the Table of Contents, which serves as an index.
