Book Description:
This is the story of one man’s yearning for redemption and renewal aboard an aging, 32-foot sloop, the Gypsy Moon.

Fans of Cheryl Strayed’s Wild will delight in this poignant and honest account of the perils we all face when our life has drifted off course.
Watching his world unravel following the end of his 25-year marriage, Hurley is short of
cash, out of a job and deeply in need of some perspective. He takes to the open ocean on an improbable sailing voyage that is part pilgrimage, part protest, and part penance. This is the story of the ensuing odyssey that spanned two years and 2,000 miles.
As the story leads to various ports of call, the author uses keen observations as touch points to reconcile events from his own past. Through these poignant, personal stories, he draws larger lessons for the reader on such diverse topics as faith, love, death and marriage.
