Living a Dream: A Journey from Aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 9 11 to Full-Time Cruiser
by Suzanne Giesemann (9780939837809)

Suzanne and Ty Giesemann dreamed of sailing into the sunset as full-time cruisers. As a retired Navy destroyer captain, Ty was at home on the ocean, but as aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Suzanne's Navy career was still moving full speed ahead. Being stationed at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, however, put her priorities in order and propelled their plans into fast motion. They bought their cruising boat, sold their house and cars, and left Washington in their wake. Filled with page-turning drama, humor and high emotion, Livin' a Dream follows the crew of "Liberty" as they prepare for the cruising life, then sail north to New England and Canada. Between idyllic anchorages and close encounters with whales they contend with rough seas, a medical emergency in a remote Newfoundland fjord, and the first-year adjustments to life on the water. Spiced with sea stories from their Navy careers, this remarkable cruising journal takes readers on a fascinating journey through the ups and downs of a lifestyle many only dream about.
