We, and our spouses, lived side-by-side on our respective boats from April, 2008 through March, 2009. Seldom did a day pass without us having spent some time together. This book, a very brief glimpse into the joys we shared as we made our way from Mexico to Florida, is my catharsis. I have also brought together photographs, memories and tributes from some of the cruisers whose lives she touched along the way just as profoundly as she touched my own.
