Sailing was never an obvious choice for the author. Raised in the heartland, literally as far away from the ocean as you can get, beach-less Kansas was home until middle life. A chance visit to a marina in Florida led to an obsession with cruising a large sailboat with his family. It was a dream of escaping the rat race and living to the fullest this short life we are granted. Some ten years of supremely enjoyable boating experience cumulated in the purchase, outfitting, and cruising of a 38 foot sailboat named "Lucidity". This was capped by a journey from Knoxville, TN, to the Bahamas aboard Lucidity with his family. It was a dream come true for the author. It was a dream that ended prematurely when divorce raised its ugly serpent’s head of evil and struck a fatal, venomous blow into the heart of the family. This book is the story of that voyage to the Bahamas, a wonderful tale of exploration and discovery as a family learns to live and cruise. It ends with a short section post-divorce, when the dream has died and cooling ashes are all that remain. The author strives to overcome that disaster with a message of hope, a powerful message that dreams, indeed, do come true: "There were times, more than I can count, when I stood on the deck of Lucidity with the sun on my face and mother ocean passing beneath and felt like a god. She sailed as if forever, powering through the waves, perfectly balanced on the cosmic knife-edge between air and water, driven by the yin/yang of the great wheel in the sky. More than a few times I realized with a soul-shuddering intensity that I was standing on the wind-catching, sunset-chasing rock-solid manifestation of a dream come true. My dream. Those times were so impossible as to seem unreal but they were some of the most real moments in my life. There’s nothing like it, so what are you waiting for" This book, a personal chronical of the voyage both of sailboat and spirit and the lessons learned, is living proof of that message.
