In the book SAILAWAY Vol 2 Robert and Penny Powers had achieved their goal of sailing from Lake Superior, U.S.A to the Caribbean Sea. At that point in time and the beginning of this adventure, they were at St Croix Island in the West Indies, over 1,000 miles from the east coast of the U.S.A. The time is January and they continue to sail and play for another 10 weeks in the Sailor's Paradise know as the Virgin Islands. Here they are faced with the dilema of how to return their Coronado 35' sloop-rigged center-cockpit yacht named Drifter back to the United States before the hurricane season begins in the West Indies. After several alternatives are ruled out, they are left with only one option, that being to sail the yacht on a Passage of 700 miles offshore with no additional crew. This Passage requires 7 consecutive days and nights to reach San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. The actual voyage through ideal sailing conditions as well as strong storms is depicted in 'real world/real life' detail including the use of 'storm survival tactics'. From San Salvador they island-hop their way to the U.S. Mainland ahead of the hurricane season beginning in June. A great deal of preparation is done prior to departure for "the PASSAGE" offshore from St Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands to San Salvador Island, Bahamas. This is a wonderful story of fun and adventure at Sea as life truly exists aboard a sailing yacht.

Robert and Penny Powers continue their dream cruise aboard the Coronado 35' sailing yacht named DRIFTER which began in Lake Superior U.S.A. This Volume 2 begins at North Caicos Island enroute to the Caribbean Sea. For the Final Dynamic Conclusion of the Powers couple "once in a lifetime adventure," read "SAILAWAY - the PASSAGE - Vol 3."

This story depicts an accounting of a husband and wife's fullfilment of their one-year-long Dream Cruise from Lake Superior, U.S.A. to the Caribbean Sea. Their ship is a thirty one year old Coronado 35' center cockpit sloop rigged sailboat named DRIFTER. She had been meticulously maintained from the day she came out of the mold. Some ammenities were added, such as refrigeration, for this liveaboard lengthy cruise. A wide variety of weather conditions are experienced and vividly described. As one might expect, they meet some very interesting characters as their voyage progresses. Their cruising adventures take them across Lake Superior, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie. Transiting the East Coast of the United States from New York to Florida, they utilize a combination of the Intracoastal Waterway with several offshore passages. From Florida they sail east through the Bahamas Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands in route to the Caribbean Sea. Thoroughly experienced sailors as well as true novices will find this story very entertaining and informative. The moral of the story is, "Don't bury your dreams in the shadows of your mind. Live them while you have the chance. Anything is possible."
