In 2003, Nancy Knudsen and her husband Ted decided to leave their stress-filled, time-poor corporate lives to spend three years sailing around the world. What they thought would be a breeze turned out to be hugely challenging as well as life-transforming.
Nancy and Ted crossed the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and visited 42 countries. During their voyage they faced life-threatening dangers and made lifelong friendships. And a surprise encounter in Turkey led them to set up home in Istanbul for two wonderful years. As well as recounting the comedy of everyday experience and the sheer breathtaking beauty they encountered on their journey, Shooting Stars and Flying Fish has deeper resonances. The experience both humbled and irrevocably changes their attitudes, ethics and aspirations with neither returning to the corporate world.
This book is for anyone with a desire to take a risk and follow their dreams.
