Motion of the Ocean: '1 Small Boat, 2 Average Lovers, and a Woman's Search for the Meaning of Wife

Choosing a mate is like picking house paint from one of those tiny color squares: You never know how it will look across a large expanse, or how it will change in different light.Meet Janna and Graeme. After a decade-long tango (together, apart, together, apart), they're back in love -- but the stress of nine-to-five is seriously hampering their happiness. So they quit their jobs, tie the knot, and untie the lines on a beat-up old sailboat for a most unusual honeymoon: a two-year voyage across the Pacific. But passage from first date to first mate is anything but smooth sailing. From the rugged Pacific Northwest coast to the blue lagoons of Polynesia to bustling Asian ports, Janna and Graeme find themselves at the mercy of poachers, under the spell of crossdressers, and under the gun of a less-than-sober tattooist. And they encounter do-or-die moments that threaten their safety, their sanity, and their marriage.Join Janna and Graeme's 17,000-mile journey and their quest to resolve the uncertainties so many couples face: How do you know if you've really found the One? How do you balance duty to others while preserving space for yourself? And, when the waters get rough, do you jump ship, or do you learn to navigate the world...together?

The Motion of the Ocean

1 Small Boat, 2 Average Lovers, and a Woman's Search for the Meaning of Wife
Looking for That Woman-Girl

Day after day, day after day,

We stuck, nor breath nor motion;

As idle as a painted ship

Upon a painted ocean.

-- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

A Year and a Half Before the Voyage Begins

Shit. Shit. Shit. I've done it again. My watch is set five minutes fast, and still there's no way I'll make it on time. I have to finish this e-mail, print tomorrow's assignment, and make copies of -- where did I put that book of engravings? Did I tell my sophomores Coleridge was an opium addict? Is there a faculty meeting this week? I could have sworn I put that book --

Focus, Janna, focus.

I type:

Mitch's writing shows great improvement, and our support will only further his progress. If you have any other concerns, feel free to contact me.

OK, that's fine. That's tactful. It's fine. Now end with Best or Sincerely ... read full excerpt from: Motion of the Ocean: '1 Small Boat, 2 Average Lovers, and a Woman's Search for the Meaning of Wife ebook
