This is a true, almost unbelievable story, of how our Maine family, over a seven-year period and on a shoestring budget, with a lot of sweat and tenacity, and with what we eventually would have to concede as Divine Intervention, managed to build a beautiful and seaworthy 40-foot sailboat. Then, a couple of years later, sell most everything we owned, enroll our two sons in correspondence school, and sail away for a two-year adventure.

This is not a step-by-step building documentation and travelogue, but rather, a personal account of day-to-day frustrations, challenges, and rewards that were integral parts of our saga. It explains the background of a low income family kid who would grow to love boats and how, many years later, his own family would become swept up in the obsession of attaining his impossible dream.
