A family sailing voyage through the southern tropics and desolate Southern Ocean. Two miles off the coast of Fiji, a 38-foot sailing sloop slices through ocean swells. Aboard the vessel is an American family of four. Eleven-year-old Kim sleeps in her bunk. Thirteen-year-old Lisa sips hot cocoa in the galley. Above deck, their parents frantically fight to outmaneuver a steel ship bearing down on their tiny vessel. Why would a family embark on a three-year voyage through the South Pacific and Southern Ocean? How does it feel to exchange security for freedom? What feelings surface when one un-cleats the last line to the dock, pulls in the final fender, and heads out to open sea? In Windswept, the romantic perception of cruising confronts a more complex, often harsher truth. Windswept is more than one family's journey through the South Pacific . . . It is a journey through life.
