Waterborne: A Slow Trip Around a Small Planet

by Marguerite Welch

"Waterborne" is the story of an artist, an engineer and a Labrador—three entirely different personalities—who abandon a stable middle-age lifestyle for a pitching deck and the possibility of pirates. Challenged by culture clashes, gear failure and sudden storms, their story is as much a sea saga as travel memoir, celebrating the interior as well as exterior journey and the joys of an inquisitive engagement with the world—a timely subject in today’s climate of increasing tribalism.

I enjoyed reading most of the book. The author provided a nice mix of personal journal entries along with some nice historical facts about each area they visited. Their long journey around the world also spoke to the many breakdowns and discomforts that come along with the incredible scenes and experiences they got to enjoy once they landed. The story got a little bogged down in Rome, otherwise I enjoyed it and recommend it for those seeking a nice armchair trip around the world! 😎
