Voyager #3
A Thousand Miles From Anywhere
By Christmas, Sandra and David Clayton are a thousand miles from land in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and not expecting guests. And, never having entertained a whale before, his visit is something of a learning experience. Although if truth be told the whale is the one in control.
Only a year before, the Claytons had escaped the life of work, pension contributions and commuting, and sailed away on their 40ft yacht, Voyager. This book charts their journey across the Atlantic from Europe to the Caribbean. With a wry sense of humor and an eye for vivid detail, Sandra describes the breathtaking sights they saw, the enchanting places they visited, the colorful characters they met and the challenging situations they got involved in.
This is the third book in the Voyager chronicles. Sandra's first book, Dolphins Under My Bed, describes their passage from chilly England to a warm Mediterranean. Her second, Turtles In Our Wake, follows them to some of its loveliest islands.
Now she takes her readers on their biggest adventure yet. It begins with the Atlantic Islands, follows their 2,800-mile Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean and culminates at the shores of America.

I've now read the couple's entire travel series, suggesting that folks read them in order for continuity, though they do stand alone pretty much. I was sorry that the last couple are not available as audiobooks, but this one was still quite enjoyable. Mention of Portuguese escudos and Dutch guilders really gave a dated jolt when they appeared!

Enjoyable, but took me a little while to get into and took me ages to read. it would have been nice if a selection of photographs was published with the book, even though the descriptions are vivid; some visuals would have added to the experience.

I wanted to read it because I had just decided to cross the Atlantic too. But this author did it on a little saliboat. She has lots of details about the living of her life.
