The Journey of Perpetual: One Day at a Time - Paperback

by Annie Feeney (Author)

This memoir follows the adventure of two women who, in 1998, take a reprieve from their professional careers, move aboard their newly-purchased sailboat and embark on a yearlong roundtrip voyage between Centerport, New York, and Key West, Florida. Based on the author's contemporaneous journals, the book captures life aboard a small, cozy sailboat, contrasting the subline joys of its unique simplicity and endless discovery with unexpected moments of heart-pounding vulnerability as they find themselves sharing a channel with a massive containership or spending a stormy night as the sole vessel tethered to a dock. As the couple completes this journey, one day at a time, it becomes clear that the exhilaration and challenges of their year on Perpetual have changed the course of their lives.
