Escape from the Ordinary

De: Julie Bradley

Narrado por: Janet Metzger

When you arrive at foreign shores by sailboat, it's not such a small world after all.

Come along with Glen and Julie as they sail around the world and discover that reality is even bigger than the escape they imagined.

This breathtakingly personal true story will thrill those wanting to sail off into the sunset or enjoy the wonders of the world from the comfort of home. Escape from the Ordinary reminds you of the unlimited possibilities in life and nudges the listener into thoughts of their own dreams.

Not a technical book about sailing or storm tactics but vividly described, full-tilt adventures on foreign shores.

where's the rest of the book?

Abrupt ending in the middle of the journey. the book was published almost 20 years after they sailed...so what did they end up doing?

Sail away…

I enjoyed the concept and execution of a plan well executed and adapted for a book that shares many of the basic and complex elements of such an endeavor…

good read...

Sailing from a young age it's nice to see (heer) someone new to the sport (life style).

The kindness of strangers

Loved all of it and it was an easy listen. I am eager to sail now.

This work is definitely an Escape from the Ordinar

Escape from the Ordinary weaves humor and candor in equal measure. The richness and clarity of Bradley's description of this epic journey allows the reader to feel as if he or she is sharing a bunk on the sailboat and is embedded right beside Glen and Julie on their journey both on and off the boat. At the end of the story I was both very satisfied and left wanting more - so this story is definitely not enough.

outstanding

this is one of the best books I've ever read (listend to) outstandingly amazing

Very enjoyable story, but disappointing ending

I enjoyed this story very much. I was very disappointed in the abrupt ending of the story, however. It’s almost as if it ended in the middle of the story with no explanation.

Really good!

I thought the story was really good. I learned a lot about Sailing. I was impressed how they had the courage to follow their dreams. For me it started out slow but definitely picked up as I got into the story. The narrator wasn’t my favorite for this book but she definitely did some really good accents. I do think it’s worth reading or listening to.

Excellent book!

I had read some of the comments about this book that were negative, so I was apprehensive about buying it. Turned out to be an excellent book with excellent narration. I would definitely recommend this to someone and will likely read it again.
Well done Julie and Janet.

Info for first time sailers.

I’m new to sailing and this is one of a few books I have enjoyed, been entertained, and found informative.
