I had the privilege of meeting, working and living with andy and Lisa in 2004 during my first stint on Midway Island in the North Pacific Ocean. They had already been living/sailing around the Pacific for a year or two when they stopped here and worked for a year or so. They are fantastic and very interesting people, and I was thrilled to see that Andy wrote a book in 2007. Not only does it cover his and Lisa's lifestyle and how they can "live the dream life," but it also provides great tips for the rest of us that wish we could live a life that WE choose, rather than being stuck in a rut and plodding along. It's a good book, well-written, easy to read, and I suppose having known the author for many months made it more special for me. But you will enjoy it too, and there is something in there for EVERYONE!

We met Andy in Fiji when my husband and I were cruising on our sailboat in Fiji, in 1995. He told us they were from Alaska, so I asked him if he knew my cousin Jack, who also lives in Alaska. Ha Ha. Well, it turns out that he did! My cousin Jack sent me his book to read, 13 years later. It gets inside the mind of people of some who cruise and why they do it - partly what this book is about. The gist is about how to make decisions on the river of life so that you will find happiness.
