Hi friends,
Just a quick note. The Orca book is
now available from Amazon in both paperback and e-book formats at $8
and $3, respectively. The book-jacket summary is below.
The
inspiring and hilarious true story of an unworldly twenty-two year
old California surf punk and his faithful girlfriend who tire of
their parochial and drama-filled home town. They decide to buy a
thirty foot sailboat and disappear.
They must
overcome spectacular nautical ignorance and defeat a cunning sabotage
attempt by safety-conscious parents armed only with a shoestring
budget and an unshakable sense of humor. Once on the high seas,
unexpected enemies and incredible allies soon propel little Orca
across the Pacific and into the unforgiving Southern Ocean. Before
long, the crew realizes they've gone too far downwind: in order to
return home, they must sail around the world. Nothing will ever be
the same.
It is a 290-page novel
that seeks to entertain as it informs. If this sounds interesting,
please follow this link
or search for 'Orca sailing' from Amazon's website. Positive reviews
greatly appreciated!
Thanks again,
John & Kara
