Full Circle Passage

Nick Ried, already feeling the pangs of mid-life crisis, gets himself into deeper water than he ever dreamed. His wounds from a broken marriage, the selling of his racing sailboat in an attempt to prevent the divorce, and his traditionally flat stomach now requiring a larger pant size are all beginning to spell depression. Then, in what seems like an instant in time, he finds himself signed on as watch-captain with a wealthy businessman, Bart Conrad, on a sailboat race around the world. Worse, or maybe better, Bart's twenty-five year old daughter who exudes charm, wisdom and hunger for a tall older man, goes with them in the race. She needs only to smile to knock Nick off his feet. Revelry and her crew of nine navigate the oceans and round the major capes. Nick experiences firsthand the thrills, dangers and disasters that occur in near-daily episodes of trying to stay alive.
