When Jennifer Silva married Russel Redmond, they made a decision to spend a year at sea, sailing in Mexico.
The honeymoon tested their new relationship, not just through rocky waters and unexpected weather, but in the ways that living on a twenty-six foot sailboat makes one reconsider what’s truly important. In this charming, meditative memoir, Jennifer recounts that first fateful year they spent at sea, moving back and forth through the waves of her life.
On their first voyage, the couple sailed Watchfire to Baja’s Sea of Cortez, where they spent a year before sailing south along Mexico and Central America and through the Panama Canal. Jennifer’s unique experience on the boat weaves back and forth through time as she explores the events that led her to taking the first step onto the boat-from her childhood to the time she spent as a struggling actor in New York.
