As I look out of the raft, I see God's face in the smooth waves, His grace in the dorado's swim, feel His breath against my cheek as it sweeps down from the sky. I listened to the audiobook version, which in this case was read by the author, who’s voice is clear and attractive, not unlike Jenna Fischer’s. The story is told by Tami, who survived a devastating hurricane that claimed the life of her fiancé and left her alone at sea for more than forty days. She gets him back to the yacht where she cares for his broken ribs and shattered leg as he reassures her that she can get them home, despite him describing himself as being "dead weight".

Expecting a storm to hit, Tami prepares by creating a makeshift shelter, though the storm turns out to be just a minor squall. I will say, however that I was really surprised to hear how often sharks attacked his small life raft. Amazingly, Ashcraft still loves to sail and “is a 100-ton licensed captain with more than 50,000 offshore miles” under her belt.Descubrí el libro A la Deriva durante mi proceso de documentación para la escritura de la novela que estaba escribiendo en ese momento: Luces en el Mar.

To qualify for the Mini-Transat, I had to sail six hundred miles alone in Solo, so I entered the Bermuda 1–2 Race and sailed from Newport to Bermuda. While downtown one day, Tami and Richard bump into Peter and Christine Crompton, owners of Hazaña, a luxury Trintella 44 yacht. I very much enjoyed the many collage photos that make up over half of the book, with explanations and discussion. Further, there are countless beautiful pieces of art made from ocean plastic that make the story more engaging.
