This is the story of the remarkable couple who dared to dream of sailing the world's oceans on the spark of an idea planted while mankind was aiming at the moon, and spent the next three decades completing their odyssey.

Follow this amazing journey from the muddy bayous of Louisiana, to the verdant wilderness of British Columbia, and eventually to the palm-graced atolls of the South Pacific as they discover how to sail, how to build a boat, and how to live their dream.
