Glory B!: 1000 Miles of Mishaps and Miracles

by Dave Graham

Overview

"It had gone by too fast. Not that I was worried about missing anything, I had been busy with other things. About forty years busy. Now, old dreams were popping up and starting to look better every day. Probably just daydreams.

Except daydreams usually didn't hang around for forty years.

Money could be a problem, too. But when wasn't it? We had a nice place, here, that took a lot of years to get the way we wanted it. I liked it a lot. I just wasn't ready to sit around on the porch and drink coffee for the rest of my life. Not yet, annyway.

This kind of advennture could be just the thing to give us a change in perspective. I was pretty sure of that.

But I wasn't so sure how to convince my wife..."

About the Author

Having traveled twice around the world during his Navy years, Dave Graham had a love for the sea that he could see stretching all the way back to his Danish ancestors. He had owned several boats-not counting the small stuff like dinghies or canoes that he built, himself-throughout his career as an educator and work in the behavioral sciences for troubled youth. When the near-forgotten dream of making a long voyage in a deep water sailboat pulled him out of retirement, he realized he still had resources inside that he had never tapped into. That journey led to things much bigger than he dreamed.

Editorial Reviews

“Glory B!, 1000 Miles of Mishaps and Miracles by Dave Graham is a challenge to us all to live our dream, because life passes by so very quickly. But beware going there, as the Captain and Lilly find out, you need to be prepared to discover your true self and to be changed in the process. Murphy ’s Law predicts that if anything can go wrong, it will. And for the Captain and Lilly, it does! How do they cope with it all, and in their senior years?

Here the earth meets the sky on the water, as the spiritual dimension becomes an undeniable reality, revealing that the God of all cares for the smallest detail of our lives. Dave Graham’s style is relaxed, uncovering a sequence of his experienced anecdotes, which upon reflection, have rather amusing and humorous sides. There is no feeling of wanting to put this book down, it is easy reading and interesting, quite a well-paced story. All to prove that whatever difficulties that life throws at us, it is never dull, and miracles do happen."
