An ideal gift for anyone dreaming of an adventure on the high seas – or simply loves to travel.
At the peak of their careers, Anne and Martin made the decision of their lives: they chose freedom and a highly uncertain future on the high seas instead of secure jobs and the safety and comfort of life ashore.
In order to finance their dream, they sold their house and most of their belongings and moved onboard their 40-foot sailboat. Nor Siglar became their one and only home for 15 years. In fact, the dream of circumnavigating the globe became a lifestyle for the career couple. Neither imagined that they were going to spend 9 years on the 7 seas and journey more than 56,000 nautical miles visiting 76 countries and island nations!
Experience Anne and Martin's unique odyssey far away from the traditional tourist routes through the pages of their very special adventure book. Their main focus became not so much the circumnavigation itself but the opportunity to get close to people from different backgrounds and cultures. They learned how others live and exist quite happily in ways different from our own. The book is saturated with enchanting encounters, unique experiences and drama. They also found that paradise still exists and can be explored.
Anne and Martin realized their dreams. Through their book they hope
to inspire others to pursue their own dreams. It certainly gives a rare
opportunity to live vicariously in Nor Siglar's wake.
A once in a lifetime adventure packed with drama and excitement!

This feature gives the book a broader dimension as it allows quick access to pertinent information of interest to readers of all ages.
Detailed maps accompany each geographic section - a feature that enables the reader to follow the travelogue with ease, linking places and events to specific maps. This is of paramount importance - especially to younger readers. This way, they will experience a new and exciting way to learn geography and about people from different cultures.
Anne and Martin's
primary objective has been to convey their many unique experiences with
people from different cultures and backgrounds through their many interesting
encounters.
They say: "We
experienced so much hospitality, friendliness, compassion, courage and
joy of life off the beaten track. Therefore we dedicated the book to:
The People
we met along the Way"
"9 Years on the 7 Seas" is not just another travelogue for
adventurers. Rather, it is a collection of highlights from encounters
with "ordinary" people from different cultures and backgrounds
who live a life much different from what most of us are used to. Anne
and Martin certainly learned that what we take for granted is an elusive
dream for others. Still, it was what THEY gave US that became the focal
point.
