Publisher's Synopsis
From an initial meeting over wine and dinner in Kemah, Texas to sailing the Andaman Sea west of Thailand, a group of nine adventurers earn their Coastal Cruising sailing certifications and form lasting bonds of friendship.
The group of adventurers dream of buying that perfect sailboat for an around-the-world cruise. Upon returning to the States, one couple set that goal into motion for a five-year retirement cruise to ultimately reach Pitcairn Island in the South Seas to obtain a rare stamp.
When tragedy strikes on the first leg of their journey, the ordinary sailing friends achieve extraordinary feats of valor to recover the couple's boat from the pirates of Celustun and death-defying storms.
