A Dream Sets Sail, Part Ii: the Continuing Adventures of Amazing Grace Kay Koudele

Publisher Marketing: What if you could finally do what you always thought would be virtually impossible? Excitement, anticipation, and a touch of apprehension surround Kay and Fred Koudele as they begin their four-year voyage on their 37-foot sailboat, Amazing Grace. A plan 17 years in the making, Kay and Fred are thrilled to finally have realized their long-time dream of international cruising. Prepared to face every challenge jointly, they are soon put to the test by Mother Nature, when they nearly lose control with their first taste of harsh sea weather. However, luck and skill prevail and they make it through relatively unscathed, only to face many further trials and tribulations at sea. Sometimes exhilarating, other times horrifying; one factor remains constant-they can always expect the unexpected. In each port throughout Mexico, Central and South America, Fred and Kay learn about new cultures and customs. With each new adventure, they also learn more about themselves and each other than they ever thought possible. Written in an articulate and expressive style, Kay Koudele provides an extraordinary firsthand account of the life-changing experience that this couple had the courage to embrace with passionate zeal. "A Dream Sets Sail" is the story of what can happen when two people have enough faith in themselves and each other to take a leap into the unknown to see what comes out on the other side.
