When marine biologists Mike Litzow and Alisa Abookire decide to follow their dream and sail from Alaska to Australia, they agree that they won't leave until their son, Elias, is one year old. But when he is just ten months old, they give up waiting, strap him down, and set sail.
In his deeply personal account of their trip, Mike tells the story of the stress and exhilaration, the closeness of family life on board, and the fierce beauty of the open ocean. Demonstrating a moving affinity with the wildlife, people, and cultures encountered along the way, this is an inspirational tale of a family afloat in the Pacific.

About the Author:
Mike Litzow has made first ascents in the Alaska Range, hitchhiked the Alaska highway three times, published a handful of scientific papers, and been fired from a job at a florist's for "having no esthetic sense". He currently lives with his wife and two sons on a 45' sailboat.
Review:
"A book that speaks to both sides of the brain simultaneously and without contradiction...prose so beautiful, and with such a dose of self-deprecating comic relief, that you yearn to be there with them." -Cruising World"Litzow is a talented writer...evocative and powerfully visual." -The Age (Melbourne)"Eminently readable." -The Sydney Sun-Herald"I was touched by this book. Litzow writes from the heart." -Fatty Goodlander"Mike writes well and with utter honesty...essential reading for anyone contemplating voyaging with very young children." - Lin Pardey
