Voyaging with Marionette

Description

Voyaging with Marionette records the 25 years of life experiences Ron Breault has shared with his boat. If you have rescued, restored, or built your own boat, you know the special relationship that develops. This story begins with the purchase of his Dolphin 24, hull #12, back in 1995, the complete restoration, and hoped for experiences—that is the entrée. The dessert is those experiences not expected—a mostly unspoken conversation in the motions and sounds as you sail along, the understanding between you and your boat of what you can do and have done together, the places visited and interesting people you meet that bring a new dimension to life.

This book is a collection of their stories and their 25-year voyage showing what can be done as one gets older that opens doors, motivates, and sustains new and stimulating opportunities. It is an effort to show that life is a continuing, expanding experience if you make the effort. Enjoy.
