6 Knots

About the Book

This is a journey of two women who set sail on a 44 foot sailing vessel. Buffalo to the Bahamas was a very steep learning curve, sprinkled with groundings, leaks and electrical conundrums.

Add in amazing friendships, a group of experienced Canadians cruisers, 3000 nautical miles and you have an enjoyable, truthful adventure into retirement.

About the Author

Cruising from Buffalo to the Bahamas unleashed my need to comment on what I see. 6 Knots came from our blog, written for friends and family, but read by so many. My diagnostic skills, honed while a nurse practitioner, are turned to life in general. Over the last year, life has gone past me at about 6 knots, plenty of time to see things twice or three times. I want to share what I feel and view from the deck of a sailing vessel. This isn't a book about how to sail or even how to cruise. It is a book about breaking our of the safety of your life and reaching for the challenges, the learning, the self-reliance, the friendships and the sheer joy of being one with the tides and the sea.
