About this listen

When you arrive at foreign shores by sailboat, it's not such a small world after all.

Come along with Glen and Julie as they sail around the world and discover that reality is even bigger than the escape they imagined.

This breathtakingly personal true story will thrill those wanting to sail off into the sunset or enjoy the wonders of the world from the comfort of home. Escape from the Ordinary reminds you of the unlimited possibilities in life and nudges the listener into thoughts of their own dreams.

Not a technical book about sailing or storm tactics but vividly described, full-tilt adventures on foreign shores.

The narrator did not speak in realistic accents,
and felt a bit monotonous. But the story was mildly interesting.

Monotonous reading. Interesting story

This is a story more about travelling, less about sailing. A “what not to do” book, left me rolling my eyes at this couple as they make poor decision after poor decision. It wasn’t what I was expecting from a book about sailing.

Not about sailing

I loved hearing about all your mishaps and adventures, it was a pleasure to listen to and it only fuels my own dream of live aboard sailing some day!

Amazing story telling and voice acting

The story, narration and pace was to my liking. Julie, the author, conveyed the experiences that she and her husband endured very well.

I’m returning to sailing and after listening to this book, I’m energized to complete my boat build by next year’s sailing season.

Excellent insight

I quite enjoyed this book, sailing along with this early-retired military couple on their circumnavigation of the world. Plenty of touch and go moments, especially in the early part of their journey, but from there it gave a good sense of what living aboard a sailboat is like. An enjoyable listen.

Life at sea

Some sections are a little dry but the overall sense of freedom and adventure is spectacular. Loved the bits of indie about each country and its people. To have the freedom to spend (almost) as much time as you wish in each port is the dream. Fair winds and following seas to all

Another good arm chair travel listen

this is more of a travel memoir than a book about sailing. try John Kretschmer for a true sailing author.
