This book is a satirical account of one man's spiritual journey, as told by his spirit guide. Ian is a well seasoned West Indian merchant sailor who narrates the story of a Chicago stock trader, who goes to the West Indies and buys a 75' catamaran to set out in search of Paradise. Instead, he finds a female captain who turns out to be the love of his life, chaos, mayhem, and eventually true happiness - only after he faces unbelievable trials and is stripped of everything he owns along the journey. In this humbled state, he discovers that he is in fact the island, his life the vessel, and that everything he'd ever truly needed had been aboard all along. It is a very funny satirical look at life in Paradise and the Zen of sailing.

A rollicking ride!,
By S.Campbell Travelwriter (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: "West of the Equator: In Searc (Hardcover)
Cheryl Bartlam Dubois uses her own experience as a charter captain in the Caribbean to spin a sensational seafaring yarn that chronicles a journey through stormy seas of self-realization, relationships and higher planes of existence. But just when you think you might be in danger of drowning in nautical terms and maybe too much universal law, she slaps you upside the head like a rogue wave with some side-splitting comedy that will have you howling out loud. This is an enlightening and entertaining read that reaffirms the truth that paradise is not a place but a state of mind. With the right casting and direction, this tale would make a wonderful movie.
