Swell

A memoir of a decade in the Pacific: Clark sets out from Santa Barbara as captain of Swell, her 40-foot sailboat, and sails south in search of empty surf breaks and a life in closer agreement with the ocean.

Published by Patagonia Books, which tells you the values before you open it - self-reliance, repair over replacement, and an honest accounting of what solitude actually costs.

She narrates the audiobook herself. A voyage of awakening that never once feels like a brochure for one.
