A woman sailing singlehanded from New England to the Caribbean has her boat rammed and sunk. It turns out others have had the same experience. Yachts are sinking all over the western Atlantic Ocean and they all have one thing in common. Ignoring the panic in the sailing community, George Attwood is trying to take his boat south, but has onboard a crew that causes nothing but heartache. Can he escape the hustle of stateside life for simpler times in the Caribbean? Maybe it is time to give up and join the real world. One insane attempt to resolve the problem might set him free.
