Description: Beth Leonard attended college and collected a master's degree in business. She could point to a successful international management consulting career, but there was no blue-water sailing on her resume. Like so many of us, Beth felt an itch of discontent inside the corporate suit she put on every day. Unlike most us, though, Beth couldn't resist scratching that itch. Following Seas recounts the story of Beth's transformation from business analyst to expert in the sea, the wind, the sky, the stars and Silk, the boat on which she learns to depend for her life. Over the course of three years, Beth grows into someone to whom Joshua Slocum could tip his hat in sailing fellowship. The dramatic shake-down cruise recounted in the prologue of Following Seas became the first leg of a sometimes tumultuous and sometimes serene circumnavigation. Sailing west-abound, Beth and companion Evans Starzinger pilot silk from the Azores, through the Panama Canal, and into the South Pacific, where the peoples of remote islands play a vital part in the story. How does one decide to leave a career and adopt a new way of life? What will you discover about the new places you see, the people you meet? Most important, what might you discover about yourself? Following Seas tells the story of Beth Leonard's journey of discovery. Why not weigh anchor, sail west-around, and share this journey of exploration yourself?
About the Author
Despite a childhood steeped in the liberal activism of the sixties and seventies--or perhaps because of it--Beth Leonard followed the prescribed advice on how to succeed in business. A good college. Graduate school. Hard work at a prestigious company. Serendipitously, she found a sea-lorn kindred spirit at the same time that she found her success hollow.
Since 1992, Beth has followed in her long-time dream of writing and the sea. Her latest book, Following Seas: Sailing the Globe, Sounding a Life, tells of her three-year circumnavigation with her partner Evans Starzinger. The book echoes her rediscovered delight in family, friends from many nation and walks of life, and this fragile planet. After that voyage, she says "Despite being more involved in the sailing community, the adjustment back to shore life has been much more difficult than the transition to cruising."
