Nick Ried, already feeling the pangs of mid-life
crisis, gets himself into deeper water than he ever
dreamed.  His wounds from a broken marriage,
the selling of his racing sailboat in an attempt to
prevent the divorce, and his traditionally flat
stomach now requiring a larger pant size are all
beginning to spell  depression.  Then, in what
seems like an instant in time, he finds himself
signed on as watch-captain with a wealthy
businessman, Bart Conrad, on a sailboat race
around the world.
    Worse, or maybe better, Bart’s twenty-five
year old daughter who exudes charm, wisdom
and hunger for a tall older man, goes with them
in the race.  She needs only to smile to knock
Nick off his feet.
    Revelry and her crew of nine navigate the
oceans and round the major capes.  Nick
experiences firsthand the thrills, dangers and
disasters that occur in near-daily episodes of
trying to stay alive.

From Jean W. Hughes, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
Congratulations Ki and Linda for a winner! I thoroughly enjoyed Full Circle
Passage, even though I know nothing about boats. The people, the mystery, and
the intracacies of open ocean sailing were captivating. Lots of action and
twists to the plot kept me turning pages. I sort of expected the winning boat
to be left to the reader's imagination, but was pleasantly surprised at the
finish. The only thing that could have made it better for me would be a
map, or maps, but I used an atlas which was great. The book itself is beautiful
cover and print type.

I finished reading "Full Circle Passage" last evening. Wow, what a rich
concentration of family tragedy, love, death, and adventure, all contained in
an ocean racing saga! In addition to illustrating the frailties of
being humans and the romantic script, the account of the boat race took
me into a world I knew nothing about.

You did a marvelous job on the characters and plot of Full Circle Passage. It
certainly maintained my interest. Just when I thought I knew where the story was
headed, like the romantic aspects, a curve ball showed up and I had to rethink
the situations of each character. It kept me on my toes, figuratively.
No one could fall asleep reading this book even if they don't know the sailing
jargon, which I certainly don't. Thanks for writing such a captivating tale.

Diane Selkirk, Nor'westing Magazine, Aug/Sept 2006

Full Cirlce Passage is an enjoyable read. The pages turn quickly and the
detailed sailing descriptions rarely feel cumbersome. Instead, sailing junkies
will appreciate that they can clearly picture what is happening aboard, right
down to the sail trim. And readers who haven't a clue what a clew is will come
away from the book with newfound lingo from their full immersion into boat
life.
Tuck this one into your duffle bag for your next weekend aboard. While you sit
at a peaceful anchorage you can ride the book around the world, and experience
a few unexpected surprises along the way.
