Join us for an evening with author Wendy Hinman and her new book, Sea Trials: Around the World with Duct Tape and Sailing Wire on Thursday, June 7th at 7pm.

A shipwreck might end a dream of circumnavigating the globe. Not for the Wilcox family …

In 1973, the Wilcox family sets off to sail around the world aboard the 40-foot sailboat, Vela. Thirteen months later, they are shipwrecked on a coral reef, with surf tearing a huge hole into the side of their boat.

With years invested in saving money, preparing the boat, and learning to navigate by the stars, parents Chuck and Dawn refuse to give up. Fourteen-year-old Garth is determined to continue, while eleven-year-old Linda never wanted to go in the first place. Can they overcome the emotional, physical and financial challenges to transform from castaways into circumnavigators?

Wendy Hinman is an adventurer, speaker and the award-winning author of two books, Tightwads on the Loose and Sea Trials. She is currently the editor of the Writers Connection, a newsletter on the craft of writing.

Come in and listen to sea stories, browse, and pick up a signed copy of these riveting sea tales from this award-winning author.
