Edens I Have Known and Loved: A Sailing Guide to 52 of my Favorite Paradises in the Seven Seas - Mike Riley - Bog

Paradise! Ever since we were kids we have heard about it. Only there could we be happy, so we were told. Adam and Eve lost it., to their dismay and sorrow. They said it was up to us to get it back, if we could. Eden! Now, life creeps forward dreary and sad and dull. We wish there could be so much more in our life. Where we could laugh and love and smile. And not have to pretend to be happy ever again. Adventure! Are we doomed to sit by the fire and hear of others' tales? Is adventure and excitement only for strangers to share? Or can we, eyes piercing, fingers clenched, dare to travel beyond the horizon, to breathe the romantic air of the unknown? Love! Do we really love someone who never changes? Isn't love an emotion that grows, fed by hope, fueled by adventure until together we discover an Eden to share with each other until we reach paradise? Can we really do it? You betcha!
