review 1: NF226 pagesJohn and Jean want something different for their family. They both enjoyed sailing and adventure. They feel it's time to uproot their family and find a meaningful adventure as a family. They did experience a meaningful time together. They learned a lot, the kids really grew up, and they all learned that they needed to depend on each other. They also had their sailing tradegy which could have been much worse.
review 2: This book is divided into two parts: first, the wife narrates; then, the husband gives his version of the adventure. The wife's version is much more interesting. The husband's account goes into extensive detail about a ship in the mid 1800s that crashed on the same reef. It's interesting, no doubt, but the pace of the book slows conside... morerably. I like to dream of attempting the same adventure with my own family someday, and so I was naturally drawn in by the adventure and the logistics of their trip. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. less
