In Search of Adventure and Moments of Bliss: Maiden Voyage |
This is a couple who has always lived on the edge and has been challenged to explore new frontiers. Embarking on an adventure at sea, these former entrepreneurs are surprised to discover higher highs and lower lows than the rollercoaster corporate world from which they had escaped. The circumnavigation propels them out of the fast-paced fields of human genetics and biotechnology into the vastly different life of cruising. They had expected the circumnavigation to be a means of being independent and in control of their own destiny, but they encounter many riveting situations where they are clearly not in control. |
Lois Hofmann writes in a first-person style as if she is on location sending stories from the front in real time. Stories often begin with the date, location, and—for the nautical buffs—latitude and longitude. This all-encompassing book combines personal memoirs with stories about local cultures and customs, geography, catamaran sailing, and over 150 extraordinary photographs of their travels. |

Although more of a personal odyssey than a how-to book, readers can still learn much about cruising that Lois and Günter learned by doing:
All this is punctuated by magazine-style sidebars for each country visited that provide educational historical and geographic facts from around the world. |
