48 DAYS TO BARBADOS IS VISCERAL: THE SMELL OF ONIONS PERMEATING A SLEEPING BAG, THE TASTE OF SULFUROUS WATER, THE SOUND OF WATER AGAINST THE HULLITS A COURAGEOUS TALE ABOUT HOW WE FIND OURSELVES BY LOSING OUR BEARINGS. KIMBERLY KING PARSONS, Bestselling Author Of We Were The Universe In 1999, experienced sailor Karson Brown was in her late twenties, married, and searching for something she couldnt quite name when she got the call shed been dreaming of her whole life a chance to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. The plan seemed straightforward: Brown and her best friend would join Captain Pam, whom theyd never met, in Portugal and help her sail her thirty-four-foot boat Voyager to Florida as part of an all-female crew. What happened next drove Brown to the edge of her physical, mental, and emotional limits as the Atlantic began dismantling, piece by piece, every certainty she had brought aboard. In "48 Days to Barbados", a seemingly routine sailboat delivery becomes five weeks of shifting itineraries, a failed engine, contaminated water, dwindling provisions, and no clear way home as Hurricane Lenny threatens from afar. Yet the greatest uncertainty lived within Brown herself. Far from her Seattle home and confined with two women she was only beginning to understand, Brown was forced to confront the fractures in her marriage, the complicated legacy of her mother, and the deep longing she finally allowed herself to recognize. Told with candor, humor, and reverence for the sea, "48 Days to Barbados" is a memoir of a lifelong Pacific Northwest sailor confronted by extreme nautical circumstances who survives by learning to trust her inner voice and the ocean she has profoundly loved since childhood.
