Fifty Places to Sail Before You Die

This book was chosen as the book of the month for March because, for the first time in my life, I will be taking a cruise and thought it an appropriate way to celebrate my new adventure.

Every time I go on a trip to a beautiful locale and think there is no place more beautiful I'm made aware that the beauty of this earth is unending. 

If I had a "bucket list" of places I wanted to visit before I die I would fill it with the names of many of the destinations in this book and if I could actually make it to a mere handful I would consider myself extremely fortunate!


Excerpt from inside cover:

Landlubbers joke that sailors are ever ready to head off to the ends of the earth, but Chris Santella has learned that some people take this life-changing desire very seriously.  In this, the 3rd installment  in his immensely successful "Fifty Places" series, Santella assembles a crew of championship racers, professional adventurers, and other sailing aficionados and asks them to share their favorite destinations around the globe.
