"We wanted places no rougher than a farm pond. The silence in these places was complete��o much so that we found ourselves speaking in whispers." ��rom Phoenix from the
Ashes
Sailors dream of a quiet life living aboard a classic yacht, yet few have been able to make that dream a way of life. This is the story of one couple who did, and their reflections on the
reality of this seemingly idyllic existence at sea. After a fire destroyed everything they owned, Justin Ruthven-Tyers and his wife began their journey by literally chopping trees for wood
to build their sailing yacht. And with wonderful turn of phrase and humorous narrative, Ruthven-Tyers takes us on their journey as they set sail for the wilds of Scotland��p creeks, in
rocky pools, in lovely desolate places whose descriptions will make any armchair traveler ache with envy and inspire anyone dreaming of living a similar lifestyle at sea.
