Ever since I was seven years old, I have been convinced that one of the fundamental upsides of being alive is that it gives you the chance to do things like sailing across oceans.. . When marine biologists Mike Litzow & his partner Alisa make a promise to follow their dream to sail from Alaska to Australia, they agree that they won`t leave until their son, Elias, is one year old. When he is nine months, they give up waiting, strap him down & weigh anchor. In his unflinching account of their trip, Mike tells the inspiring story of the stress & exhilaration, the fights & incredible closeness of family life onboard, & the unrelenting fierceness & incredible beauty of the open sea. South From Alaska is a warm, personal & fascinatingly honest account of a family afloat in the Pacific. ` There`s nothing better than going on an adventure with your kids. This story should inspire all of us to make our dreams come true.` Jon Faine
