All her life, Almuth dreamed of sailing around the world. Until she retired, however, she had never set foot on a sailing boat. When she met Edi, a passionate sailor, she jumped in at the deep end and followed him onto his boat. And so it was that a landlubber with no sailing experience embarked on a journey across the world's oceans with a grumpy skipper she didn't know, a journey that changed her life and opened up completely new worlds for her. Almuth's lively travel stories - supplemented by her original drawings and historical facts - provide a variety of insights into the lives of two nautical globetrotters: from the everyday challenges on board to unforgettable encounters in foreign cultures and adventures in fascinating natural surroundings.
