Swell

A Sailing Surfer's Voyage of Awakening

By: Liz Clark

Narrated by: Liz Clark

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 ten years, 20,000 miles, countless adventures, and one cat later, she's still out there.

Journey to the Heart

The adventurous tale of a citizen of the universe whom from joyous moments, love, friendship, serendipity and adversity begin to open her mind to a truth which has always been there, the bright and warm light of her own inner star. Few are those who listen to it, fewer still are those who understand.

a must read if you share the dream of sailing!

A story of adventure among life’s swells

Wow! What and empowering story . I would recommend this book to anyone with a love of the ocean and taste for adventure. I hope Liz Clark decides to write another book about her new life adventures.

Open, vulnerable and beautiful

I loved the authenticity of this story, it’s open, honest and very well written. I will listen to it over and over I’m sure to re-visit the adventures.

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.
