Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Choosing a mate is like picking house paint from one of those tiny color squares: You never know how it will look across a large expanse, or how it will change in different light. Meet Janna and Graeme. After a decade-long tango (together, apart, together, apart), they're back in love — but the stress of nine-to-five is seriously hampering their happiness. So they quit their jobs, tie the knot, and untie the lines on a beat-up old sailboat for a most unusual honeymoon: a two-year voyage across the Pacific. But passage from first date to first mate is anything but smooth sailing. From the rugged Pacific Northwest coast to the blue lagoons of Polynesia to bustling Asian ports, Janna and Graeme find themselves at the mercy of poachers, under the spell of crossdressers, and under the gun of a less-than-sober tattooist. And they encounter do-or-die moments that threaten their safety, their sanity, and their marriage. Join Janna and Graeme's 17,000-mile journey and their quest to resolve the uncertainties so many couples face: How do you know if you've really found the One? How do you balance duty to others while preserving space for yourself? And, when the waters get rough, do you jump ship, or do you learn to navigate the world...together? Review:"Most of us would love to quit our jobs and sail across the globe, but very few of have the guts — or the sea legs. Fortunately for us armchair adventurers, Janna Cawrse Esarey not only took this journey, she took great notes. The result is a funny, honest tale of how one woman found her Comfort zone — with the sea, with herself, and with the notion of happily ever after." — Michelle Goodman, author of My So-Called Freelance Life and The Anti 9-to-5 Guide Review:"On her honeymoon Janna Cawrse Esarey and her fisherman husband set sail in pursuit of her childhood dream....Motion of the Ocean is a fresh and honest story on many levels. It's an entertaining read for those who enjoy a voyaging story or are contemplating an adventure, though in the end it's not about achieving the sailing dream — it's a love story in which Janna discovers how to live and enjoy life."-- Amanda Swan Neal and John Neal, authors of The Offshore Crusising Companion Review:"I didn't think it was possible to write a 'new' cruising yarn. However, Janna Cawrse Esarey has done it--from a female sailor's perspective. This isn't a story of a cruise, it is an insightfully-written story of a maturing relationship. Best of all, her pen is as sharp as her wit. She pulls no punches. I laughed and cried--and saw myself on every page."-- Cap'n Fatty Goodlander, Editor-at-Large of Crusing World magazine Review:"A tale for all land and sea lovers fantasizing about perfect life passages with the ideal mate."-- Tania Aebi, author of Maiden Voyage Synopsis:Janna and Graeme quit their jobs, tie the knot, and untie the lines on a 30-year-old sailboat for what could be the riskiest honeymoon ever attempted! Synopsis:The humorous true story of a woman who abandons her tidy life to honeymoon across the Pacific on a leaky, old boat--only to find that sailing 17,000 miles is easier than keeping her relationship off the rocks.
