This is the true story of how a family of six sought to live their dream by buying a sailboat and sailing it across the Atlantic Ocean. In this undertaking, they left their cherished home on the farm and encountered many setbacks along with a great number of rewarding experiences.

The adventures  which happened to the crew, the youngest being four years old, and their cement boat should appeal to children, adults, sailors an landlubbers alike.

The story of the scenery, situations, storms and stresses is vividly enhanced by excerpts from the diaries which were kept by most of the family members.
