Hi All , the weekend is here. I wanted to share a reading recommendation with you.
I recently read during a navigation the audio version, an audiobook downloaded via audible, of “Love with a chance of drowning”, or the story of a young Australian women, the author Torre DeRoche, who falls in love, in the US, with an Argentinean guy, Ivan, passionate with .
When the latter decides to go for a circumnavigation on his relatively small, and relatively old sailboat, Torre decides to go with him, despite her fear of water and attachment to comfort.
This book is funny and instructive for any wannabe . We plunge into their life, first preparations and then the trip from California to Australia, via Polynesia. A lot of funny anecdotes and interesting descriptions of stopovers in the Pacific.
It’s also an occasion to confirm that whatever you do on a boat, pay attention to preparation and expect some gear failures !
I recommend “Love with a chance of drowning” for those who love offshore sailing and voyage. I think a lot of women might recognize themselves in this girl trying so hard to understand and appreciate her (latin) lovers’s passion, and a lot of men could recognize themselves in a few anecdotes where she describes Ivan striving to cope with gear failures and trying to sound in total control !
The book is available on Amazon in paper, CD MP3 or downloadable (11h30 of fun, with a nice narration). You can download a sample (a few minutes of the book) on this page, but I guaranty you’ll have fun listening to or reading this book.
Here is the book on Amazon, enjoy !

Love can make a person do crazy things. . . A city girl with a morbid fear of deep water, Torre DeRoche is not someone you would ordinarily find adrift in the middle of the stormy Pacific aboard a leaky sailboat – total crew of two – struggling to keep an old boat, a new relationshi...
