Description

This fascinating biography is an essential companion to one of the most successful sailing stories ever written, Desperate Voyage by John Caldwell. In Mary's Voyage, we hear the story of Mary Caldwell, the inspiration for John's romantic journey across the sea in a twenty-foot boat. Almost sixty years later, Mary tells how she and John and their small children became the first family to attempt a voyage around the world on a small sailing craft using only a sextant and dead reckoning to guide them across thousands of miles of ocean. They went on to build Palm Island in the Caribbean. Mary's true story of endurance and fearlessness is remarkable and inspiring. 16 b&w photos.
