Description

Ever thought about dropping everything and sailing around the world? (C'mon, admit it.) How about doing it before modern communication and navigation systems existed? And long before we were under the spell of social media. Back when adventure travel was an authentic, analog experience.

Sally and her husband, Jon, left their jobs, sold their house, and set off to sail the world, not knowing if they might be making the biggest mistake of their lives. After a near sinking, sea sickness, and a couple groundings, (all in the first few weeks), they had serious doubts. However, with each mile traveled and each challenge faced, they gained confidence and skill. From the U.S. East Coast, through the diverse cultures of Central America and South Pacific islands, they were rewarded with dolphin escorts, tropical rainforests, waterfalls, and coral reefs. They met black pearl farmers and treasure hunters, were invited to feasts and dances, and shared many meals and adventures with the kind, generous people they met in remote coastal villages and atolls. This book covers the first year of a 4-year circumnavigation on a 37-foot sailboat, from Annapolis to New Zealand.

Pass the Kava is more than just a sailing adventure. It is a story about finding meaning and community while changing the course of your life. Let these sailors take you along for the beautiful ride.
