This is a book for the serious offshore cruiser and armchair sailor alike, Windy Thoughts is a tale of circumnavigation written from the viewpoint of the ship’s first mate.
Filled with poignant and self-effacing humor, Windy Thoughts is an inspiring story recounting the joys and delights available to offshore cruisers: unparalleled physical beauty and rich cultural experiences found in all corners of the world.
Life on blue water in a 35-foot sailboat is not without its challenges, however, and Windy Thoughts skillfully blends the reality of life afloat with the romance of pursuing one’s dream:
“There is nothing about living a life on the oceans that brings people closer together than the stark reality of what is required to sustain the lifestyle."
Windy Thoughts is Joyce Green’s first non-fiction work. Ms. Green lives in the San Juan Islands of Washington State with her husband, Don, and golden retriever, Sahara.
