The Oceans Are Waiting recounts the true story of a four-and-a-half year circumnavigation undertaken by two middle-aged newlyweds aboard the 37-foot sailboat, TIGGER.
At the age of 47, Sharon Ragle faced a solitary future. She'd been single for many years, and her children were grown. But one small step off her familiar path led to adventure, romance, and a life at sea as she and her new husband embarked on a thrilling escapade that took them across 35,000 miles of ocean and to many exotic lands, including the Cook and Galápagos Islands as well as lesser-known locales like the islands of Rodrigues and Atata.
Readers will be captivated and inspired by the story of Ragle's honeymoon voyage and her second chance at love and life.
