In short, she was going nowhere - until her father offered her a challenge: Tania could choose either a college education or a 26-foot sloop. The only catch was that if she chose the sailboat, she'd have to sail around the world - alone. She chose the boat, and for the next two and a half years and 27,000 miles, it was her home.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n With only her cat as companion, she discovered the wondrous beauties of the Great Barrier Reef and the death-dealing horrors of the Red Sea. She suffered through a terrifying collision with a tanker in the Mediterranean and a lightning storm off the coast of Gibraltar. And, ultimately, what began with the sheer desire for adventure turned into a spiritual quest as Tania came to terms with her troubled family life, fell in love for the first time, and - most of all - confronted her own needs, desires, dreams, and goals. . . .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67911212433444,"sku":"YSL16645","price":9.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/91kdFm3g6eL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793153818","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b009r44lpu","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
