Susan Hitchcock felt her family of four was drifting apart. As she watched the daily demands of life tug her away from her husband and two young children, she knew that they would have to find a way back to each other. To reconnect as a family, they took to the sea.
They sailed for nine months -- and 3,500 miles -- around the Caribbean aboard Hei Tiki. Along the way they met formidable challenges from the weather, the water, and their own fears. Yet, through it all, they grew closer as a family, and Susan reveled in their newfound intimacy.
Though she began as a novice sailor, Susan soon developed an affinity for the water. And through both the rigors and the quietude of sailing, her family found their center. In this inspiring and triumphant chronicle of life at sea, we discover a wonderful meditation on marriage, family, and the beauty of togetherness.
