Three hundred nautical miles from shore, Iâm cold and sick and afraid. I pray for reprieve. I long for solid ground. And I canât help but ask myself, What the hell was I thinking?
When Sue Williams set sail for the North Atlantic, it wasnât a mid-life crisis. She had no affinity for the sea. And she didnât have an adventure-seeking bone in her body. In the wake of a perfect storm of personal events, it suddenly became clear: her sons were adults now; they needed freedom to figure things out for themselves; she had to get out of their way. And it was now or never for her husband, David, to realize his dream to cross an ocean. So sheâd go too.
Ready to Come About is the story of a motherâs improbable adventure on the high seas and her profound journey within, through which she grew to believe that there is no gift more precious than the liberty to chart oneâs own course, and that risk is a good thing ⦠sometimes, at least.
