About the Author

Patricia Morgan was born in 1949. After a brief flirtation with university, she discovered the sailor's life, the experiences of which are captured in this memoir. Those seven memorable years in the South Pacific ended with a reluctant relocation to the Pacific Northwest in 1978, where she has spent the ensuing 40-plus years transcribing court trials, a line of work that afforded her freedom from the confines of an eight-to-five job or needing to live in one place, thus allowing her to be home to raise her four children. Today she meditates, writes, reads, and transcribes court trials part time. Continuing to embrace the minimalist lifestyle sought while sailing, she remains aweigh of life, having no permanent address for long. Most recently, after four years of calling a beloved 27-foot box van home, the winds shifted, and as of this printing, she's temporarily eschewed her nomadic tendencies to settle in a community dwelling tucked into a rural pocket of the Scenic Columbia Gorge in Washington.
