The authors of Seasoned by Salt have lived out fantasy. They took a leave of absence from ‘real’ life in Connecticut and set sail for the tropics. Along the way, they sailed angry seas near Bermuda before reaching the British Virgin Islands and heading south to Grenada. They each recount their fears and adventures from a different perspective, which makes for compelling reading.

Other books have captured the magic of sailing away, but these authors also delve into the history and economy of the islands. If you are ready to escape in a sailboat, consider this book for your launching point. – The Ensign
