The Missing Centimetre
How hard is it to stop work and sail away? Would it really amount to more than a little snippet out of the full measure of the lives most of us live? If you've ever felt and resisted that temptation, then read this book with care. With charm and candour the author guides us through the practical and personal issues, telling a tale that inspires and invites. This is the true story of a once typical family who decide to sell their home, move onboard a small yacht and sail across the Atlantic in pursuit of a dream of freedom and a better life. The book is beautifully illustrated with more than seventy full-colour photographs, maps and diagrams. It offers a broad range of practical tips as well as a compelling and inspiring narrative. All members of the family contribute. HB 272pp The Missing Centimetre is the inspiring story of an ordinary family, with ordinary sailing experience and a common dream, who, together, achieve something extraordinary. Written as they sailed, the story is one of transformation, of a family growing together, learning to take big decisions, dangers, challenges and new worlds in their stride. Not only is it the story of their north Atlantic circuit, but it also offers practical advice and tips based on hard-won experience of blue-water family sailing. If you've ever wanted to know how it feels to make the break, set sail for the horizon and keep going, The Missing Centimetre is for you.
