About this ebook
Who hasn't dreamt of packing up and just leaving their daily lives behind for a while?
Sherrie and Patrick have and for years they would take months to a year off of work to jump on their motorcycles and ride away.
And then they had babies.
Patrick knew it was time to break out his lifelong dream of sailing around the world.
But Sherrie was the ultimate reluctant sailor.
For anyone who is wondering how to convince their partner to sail away with them, or wondering if they want to do it themselves, this short collection of blog post essays is for you.
It is the story of how Patrick convinced Sherrie to move aboard and sail around the world. Or at least as far as Amsterdam.
Currently in the Carribean and planning the Pacific for 2020, Patrick considers his mission a success.

Introduction
Thanks for wanting to learn more about our adventures as we sail around the world! Or at least as far as Portugal. As I am fond of saying, changing plans is just part of the plan ! So our present plan is to set sail from Nowe Warpno, Poland, where our boat Falkor presently lives. If everything goes as we hope then next November my parents will meet us in Portugal and hang out for a bit before I fly back to Canada with them
