"Did my mistake begin with the boat or the marriage itself?"
And that's the quote that sums it up, this book about adventure and secrets and marriage.
A run of the mill marriage takes a turn when the family decides to spend a year at sea. Well, he decides. The wife sort of just goes along. Who could blame her for the trepidation? They have two young children, past trauma, a somewhat rudimentary a of what they're getting themselves into and a whole lot of marital baggage to carry onboard.
Still, off they go. And, as a reader, you learn pretty quickly not all of them are coming home.
Half of this book is told through the wife's perspective, the other half through the Captain's Log kept by her husband. Like so many marriages/relationships/encounters, it's two angles of the same story that may differ, but somehow come together to form the truth.
There is grief here. Regret. Maybe a little hope. All in all, comes to a satisfying end.
