"Waterborne" is the story of an artist, an engineer and a Labrador—three entirely different personalities—who abandon a stable middle-age lifestyle for a pitching deck and the possibility of pirates. Challenged by culture clashes, gear failure and sudden storms, their story is as much a sea saga as travel memoir, celebrating the interior as well as exterior journey and the joys of an inquisitive engagement with the world—a timely subject in today’s climate of increasing tribalism.
