48 Days to Barbados

In 1999, 28-year-old Karson Brown and her best friend embarked on a simple journey: they were going to help a woman they'd never met navigate her thirty-four-foot sailboat from Portugal to Ft. Lauderdale. Their three-week adventure crossing the Atlantic quickly became a fight for survival as contaminated water, a dead engine, and depleted provisions during hurricane-season winds threatened their very lives.

In this breathtaking memoir, Brown takes readers on a forty-eight day journey across the ocean where they navigated by the stars, and learned that the greatest challenges weren't the towering waves or electrical storms, but the demons they had brought aboard with them.
