Loved the book, the author has a great sense of humor and her descriptions of the ocean, places she visits, and the storms she encounters are beautifully written. It's an honest look at sailing around the world, the book is already making it's round with my friends :-).

Listen to a real cool person tell you all the best parts of a great adventure.
Sharon is my mom, and a very interessstttting person. Dad is a great guy and our favorite curmudgeon.
This book started out as a handwritten journal, mailed home from some really far out places around the world. It is now a well-polished book full of laugh-out-loud silliness and high adventure.
My favorite story is about the raft of "refugees" on the Indian Ocean. Read this book and see if you agree. :)

"The Oceans are Waiting" by Sharon Ragle was a delightful surprise. It is an enchanting love story and a bold adventure. Mrs. Ragle has wonderful style and I will recommend the book to all my friends, including the Land Lubbers!
Great Book Sharon!

Simply Delightfull

As a new owner of one of these beautiful Tartan 37C classic designs, I thought this book would contribute to my education about this boat but I was sorely disappointed. There is virtually no content on the sailing characteristics, handling of the boat under different sea and wind conditions or even anything worthwhile on the set up or maintenance during a world cruise. With regard to the places visited, it was A to B, B to C with little worthwhile description of the places or any connection with the people encountered. From a point of the romance invoved, it was a cute premise but again had little interesting development. A pretty dull existance considering the awesome opportunities. Don't waste the money, go to the used book section where you will find mine.

A great story about a woman making her dreams come true. Her journey is exciting and funny. A true inspiration to many who would like to add a little adventure to their lives. A wonderfully written book for sailors and non-sailors alike.
