Steve and Rosemary travel up the east coast of Australia on a 38 foot yacht named Rocinante, learning as they go how to live on a boat, manage weather and ocean conditions and navigate the coast. Steve has sailed before, but not for 20 years. He is not sure he is up to it, but knows that if he doesn't go now, he may miss his chance. Rosemary is a naive amateur, open to adventure. Rosemary photographs and writes about every day to savour the journey, sharing the excitement, the learning, the frustrations and the astounding beauty of the coast and the ocean.
