John Kretschmer is sailing’s practical philosopher - as much a doer as a thinker. And that is the overarching theme of this chronicle of a sailing life. Often amusing, sometimes poignant, occasionally terrifying but always inspiring, his deeply personal account is a welcome reminder of the good life waiting at sea. With hundreds of thousands of nautical miles under his keel, John’s adventures have taken him several times around the world.

"The tale of Carl Wake and the hurricane that was waiting for him goes straight to the heart of the greatest sea stories: they are not about man against the sea, but man against himself. John Kretschmer's audiobook is as perfectly shaped and flawlessly written as such a story can be. In addition to being the best depiction I have ever listened to of what it is like to be inside a hurricane at sea, At the Mercy of the Sea is as moving a story of a man's failure and redemption as can be found anywhere in the literature of the sea. This audiobook is surely destined to become a classic."

Publisher's Summary
Chasing a dream is never easy, but if you go far enough, it will set you free.
Captain Liz Clark spent her youth dreaming of traveling the world by sailboat and surfing remote waves. When she was 22, she met a mentor who helped turn her desire into reality. Embarking on an adventure that most only fantasize about, she set sail from Santa Barbara, California, as captain of her 40-foot sailboat, Swell, headed south in search of surf, self, and the wonder and learning that lies beyond the unbroken horizon.
In true stories overflowing with wild waves and constant challenges, at the whim of the weather, of relationships sweet and sour, of nature's marvels and colorful cultures, Liz captures her voyage in gripping detail in this memoir, sharing tales of sailing in high seas, of solitude and surprises, of finding connection to the earth and commitment to living in harmony with it. She witnesses how her dream leads her to understanding the unity of all things.
More than 10 years, 20,000 miles, countless adventures, and one cat later, she's still out there.

This is more than a book about a voyage. It's a reflection of personal growth during several trips around the sun. After hearing Lizzy speak at the St Francis Yacht Club, I gave an autographed copy of Swell to my daughter as a college graduation gift.

Swell
There is nothing better than listening to a memoir, sailing adventure, essential skills manual, loves story, and personal journey by a person who you didn’t know but eventually cane to admire and really respect. Liz Clark went from So Cal surfer girl to living the sailor dream (even when the dream included storms, sea sickness, interminable boat repairs, and unrequited and even abusive relationships) because of her drive and, even when she didn’t know it, what other people saw in her. This is ultimately a journey of self discovery. We can learn from it. I hope Captain Clark writes a sequel.

Great Storytelling with Real Soul
Liz Clark is able to weave the story of her life in such a way that we all can relate too. We the readers toil away in the workaday world while Lizzy lives the life we all long for. Lizzy quickly becomes our hero as we realize that life’s trials are similar for Lizzy and the rest of us. A great book and wonderfully delivered in her own voice and feeling. A pearl from the blue water oceans to the lagoons.

Not Just For Sailors
When I acquired this book I was looking for stories about sailing, big waves etc. But it’s more than that. In fact it’s not really about that. It’s more about the freedom you get sailing and about the trials Lizzie has over come in her pursuit of adventure. In some parts you ask why do that and others you want to get on a plane and save her. It’s surprisingly good and I really enjoyed it. I’d recommend this book to anyone with either a passion for sailing or having a troubled life. Would buy again and listen again.

I’m glad you’re here
Every now and then, the paths we take get blurry. Then at some point something comes along that helps guide you back toward it. Reading your book at a tricky time in my life has done just that. Captain Liz, I’m glad you’re here. Thank you :) Baz

great story about adventure, love and the universe
The writer Liz totally gets why we go sailing. So much about being at one with and feeling the planet that surrounds and nurtures us through the best and the worst times of life. Wonderful adventure and story of seeing through the noise of life to the truly beautiful and important things life has to offer. Thankyou
