Afloat and Adrift


Book Description

When a discontented career woman begins to question what life should really be about, she makes a courageous change that sets her adrift from financial and personal security. Moving from the west to the east coast of Australia, and then on to New Zealand, she searches for answers. But it is in the South Pacific, when she becomes part of the world of oceangoing yachts and the people who have made the sea their home, that she finally finds what she is looking for. In this adventurous but somewhat dangerous world, maintaining her place sets new challenges, and she almost loses everything she has gained. Afloat and Adrift is a journey of inner resolution, life contemplation and interpersonal discovery peppered with conflict and romance.




Adrift


Book Description

Before The Perfect Storm, before In the Heart of the Sea, Steven Callahan’s dramatic tale of survival at sea was on the New York Times bestseller list for more than thirty-six weeks. In some ways the model for the new wave of adventure books, Adrift is an undeniable seafaring classic, a riveting firsthand account by the only man known to have survived more than a month alone at sea, fighting for his life in an inflatable raft after his small sloop capsized only six days out. “Utterly absorbing” (Newsweek), Adrift is a must-have for any adventure library.
