Mike Tackett wasn't running away-he was chasing something.
After years of building businesses and raising a family, he felt the pull of something freedom, clarity, and the wide-open water. So, he
bought a boat named PATIENCE, convinced his wife to join him, and set out to complete America's Great Loop - a 6,000-mile voyage around the eastern U.S. by water.
What followed was equal parts dream and reckoning.
In Blue Mind, Bold Heart, Tackett delivers a powerful, soul-searching memoir of storms and stillness, near disasters and quiet epiphanies. With wit, honesty, and unflinching vulnerability, he invites readers aboard a journey that changed everything-from the rhythm of his days to the lens through which he sees life itself.
For anyone who's ever asked, "is this all there is?" this book is your answer.
