Just finished for the third time in a row, reading True Spirit.
For a young woman...who had dylexica (SP?) as a child, She has done an excellent job of her accounting of her early life, when the dream began and the convincing of her parents and many other people and on to the preparations into achieving that dream. Then the actual voyage around the world in 210 days. :thumbsup:

You all should read this book. And if possible have your children read it, so they may realize that their dreams of accomplishments as a young adult can be achieved...
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
These are an opinions of a man and may differ from all others; Please don't hunt him down and cause bodily harm.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain:
If I can ease one life the aching,
or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I sall not live in vain.
Emily Dickinson
