It's 1933 during the grimmest days of the Depression, and the
Chandler family is at a turning point. Nina Chandler's father has
been fired, her mother is convinced he is having an affair, and the
eldest of her siblings will soon be leaving for college. Rather
than watch the family shatter, Nina's father decides to set sail on
a grand voyage at sea to escape the Depression and to thrive and
prosper on their own terms. Aboard the sailing yacht, the Blue
Dolphin, the Chandlers cruise the eastern coast of the United
States, around the islands of the Caribbean, through the Panama
Canal into the Pacific, down to the Galapagos, and back home again.
On their voyage they encounter adventure in many forms: a
hurricane, a few sharks, hostile ports of call, and of course,
themselves.
An insightful narrator, thirteen-year-old Nina introduces us to her
rather eccentric family, as well as the sailors of the Blue
Dolphin. Together, this unlikely crew celebrates the strength of
American character and the ability of individuals and families to
flourish even in the worst of times.
