Reviews
"Highly romantic on every level in a very hip and modern way, this is such a well-written, great adventure and love story! I would recommend it to any two people taking on something that feels too big to handle as proof of what is possible, given the will to try and the determination to succeed. Bravo!" Tania Aebi, author of Maiden Voyage
"The Box Wine Sailors is not about adjusting sails to match the wind. It is about adjusting lives to match a dream. Wisely or foolishly--you get to decide--Amy and her partner seek adventure, freedom, and togetherness aboard a small sailboat on a big ocean. What makes this tale unique is that its narrator is twenty something. For millennials focused on "success" since pre-kindergarten, such abandon is rare, which is too bad because experiencing life beyond the comfort zone rewards one with an unimaginable high. In Amy's words, 'you don't get to feel that--until you've actually done it. All the way.' If you imagine yourself living life on the edge but consider such an adventure beyond your reach, read this book."Don Casey, author of This Old Boat
"Love, courage and a generous helping of lunacy are ingredients for the best kind of adventure stories. If you're looking for the inspiration to throw it all in and set sail, this is it." Torre DeRoche -- author of Love with a Chance of Drowning
"McCullough is an uninhibited and engaging storyteller and the book fairly sizzles with joie de vivre . I wish all 20-somethings did something like thisthe world would be filled with better-adjusted human beings." SAIL magazine
