Summary

 Chasing a dream is never easy, but if you go far enough, it will set you free.

Captain Liz Clark spent her youth dreaming of traveling the world by sailboat and surfing remote waves. When she was 22, she met a mentor who helped turn her desire into reality. Embarking on an adventure that most only fantasize about, she set sail from Santa Barbara, California, as captain of her 40-foot sailboat, Swell, headed south in search of surf, self, and the wonder and learning that lies beyond the unbroken horizon.

In true stories overflowing with wild waves and constant challenges, at the whim of the weather, of relationships sweet and sour, of nature's marvels and colorful cultures, Liz captures her voyage in gripping detail in this memoir, sharing tales of sailing in high seas, of solitude and surprises, of finding connection to the earth and commitment to living in harmony with it. She witnesses how her dream leads her to understanding the unity of all things.

More than ten years, 20,000 miles, countless adventures, and one cat later, she's still out there. Adventurers, Explorers & Survival Sailing Sailing & Boating Sports Water Sports

I loved following along with Liz’s adventure. What a life! So many twists of fate and so much wisdom gained along the journey. I haven’t enjoyed a book this much in a long time!
I’m so inspired to see out my own adventure and to live more in alignment with my values and beliefs. I want to live more in tune with nature and with more care and respect for earth and all its inhabitants. Thank you.

I’m in awe of Liz’s strength of character

Every now and then, the paths we take get blurry. Then at some point something comes along that helps guide you back toward it. Reading your book at a tricky time in my life has done just that. Captain Liz, I’m glad you’re here. Thank you :) Baz
