About this ebook
When sailing novice Anna Kirtlan takes to the high seas, expect the unexpected. Not many people have the courage to sail the South Pacific with as little experience as Anna, who not only has to learn to sail, from scratch, but also to overcome the severe anxiety and panic attacks that have plagued her since her teens. She is upfront about living with mental illness and of being scared out of her mind at times, but somehow doing it anyway. With humour and insight, Anna relates the adventures she shares with her partner Paddy on board Wildflower and the characters they meet along the way.
