Migael Scherer offers vivid glimpses of life aboard -- of trimmings sails, anchoring, making repairs, being fogbound -- that convey bold, simple, thought-provoking truths. And she reflects on what her boat and the sea have taught her: a zen-like wisdom and peace of mind, flexibility in the face of chaos, a deeper appreciation of the richness of each moment. All in all, this is a marvelous affirmation of the beauty of sailing.
