Amy and Jimmie were not sailors. Their experience included reading
a few books, watching a couple of instructional videos, and sailing
once a week for a year. They were land-lubberly, middle-class
twentysomethings, audacious and in love. All they wanted was to be
together and do something extraordinary. They quit their jobs,
bought a boat that was categorically considered "too small" for
ocean sailing, and without some "must-have" sailing equipment,
sailed along the coast from Portland Oregon to the Sea of Cortez.
The Box Wine Sailor s tells the true story of a couple's ramshackle
trip down the coast with all the exulting highs and terrifying lows
of sailing a small boat on the Pacific. From sailing on
Thanksgiving morning under spectacular bright blue Californian
skies just off the Channel Islands as dolphins raced alongside
their boat to the terrifying experience of rounding Punta Gorda and
hanging on to the mast for dear life, being thrown side-to-side,
back to front, atop their small vessel, and looking about at what
seemed like the apocalypse. It also tells the story of two very
normal people doing what most people only dream of, settling the
argument that if you want something bad enough you can make it
happen.
