Turning Tides Jan Price

We are often asked the question: "What would you do with your life if money was no object?" My answer has always been to travel. Comfortable aircraft run by reputable airlines, serviced by large, well equipped airports with easy to read signs in English. Coffee shops and duty free shopping: Board a flight, sleep the night and arrive in exotic locations. I NEVER intended to be a sailor! I get seasick. Horribly seasick. I get seasick just driving along the beach! So how did a dedicated landlubber find herself in a very small sailboat on the open ocean, out of sight of land, in the middle of a ferocious storm, dodging massive prawn trawlers, waves crashing over the gunnels and filling the cockpit; all with a smile on her face? How indeed. Truth is often stranger than fiction. Follow my adventures from the depths of despair to riding highs more magnificent than I could ever have imagined. But I warn you, adventure is addictive. Be prepared to open your front door and yearn to look further than your fence. Roads will beckon, horizons will call. You have been warned!
