Jeff Merrill did the most extensive review to date of The Unexpected Circumnavigation. Full disclosure: Jeff is our friend and our Nordhavn salesperson. But above all, Jeff has incredible integrity, and we believe his review is objective and complete. All of the feedback we have gotten on the book so far has been positive. We are still the number 1 selling travel book on Lulu!
The Unexpected Circumnavigation was the #1 selling book in the “Travel” category this week on Lulu. 🙂
In March, we were the 3rd top selling book in all categories combined.
Check what other people are saying about the book:
I would recommend this book to people interested in circumnavigating under power, and also those who wonder “what it would be like” to kick off from dry land without decades of ocean-going experience to draw upon.

The book is illuminating and so descriptive you feel like you can taste the food, smell the ocean and meet the people.
Article in April 16th Edition of “The Log”.
Starting from the beginning, the author describes how a dream to travel around the world by plane progressed to cruising around the world by boat…

It was a 10 month process to create the book. The book is different from the blog. It is written in first person from Christi’s perspective. It has new information, including things we did not want to mention on the blog. Learn about the challenges, rewards, and the surprises that come with both traveling and boating. It is a fun an easy read that both boaters and non-boaters will enjoy.
We want to thank everyone for their support in creating the book.
Volume 1, of the yet untitled book covering San Diego to Australia will hopefully be ready to purchase soon. Many people have asked us why they should buy our book if they can read our blog for free. Here are a few good reasons:
