Review of Bluewater Walkabout
Posted: 18 Feb 2023, 06:32
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bluewater Walkabout" by Tina Dreffin.]
Apart from the dream of wanting to be superheroes like Superman, Batman, and Super Girl, children have always had other dreams that were different. Some had dreams to travel, explore, and visit as many countries as possible, and Tina was no different when she was a kid.
Bluewater Walkabout is a book written by Tina Dreffin. This book is a memoir that talks about a series of interesting events that happened in the life of the author. Tina and her husband, Peter, shared the same dream of traveling and sailing to the South Pacific to see the world together. They didn't embark on this journey alone, as their two teenage boys, Adam and Warren, were with them.
When you read this book, you get to feel the plot and flow of the story, which is one of the wonderful things I liked about the book. The series of events that took place in the story just made the book fascinating, and you wouldn't want to miss one page of it. Apart from the fact that the storyline was really nice, I got to learn about things that I didn't know before, like what a walkabout is. It refers to the aboriginal custom in Australia where a man breaks off from the daily grind and walks in solitude across desert and bush country on a spiritual quest. The distance covered on a walkabout may exceed 1,000 miles (1,609.34 km) and is done without the aid of a compass or radio. It is also said that the walker uses this to find his way under the guidance of a spiritual power.
Ever since Tina was a little girl, she always dreamed of going on adventures, wanting to know more about the world. This must have been because, while she was a kid, her family was always on the move, so that must have ignited a fire in her. One of the places she really found her desire to travel while growing up was when her family settled in the small town of Corbin, Kentucky. Tina and her two sisters would always go out onto distant country roads searching for an adventure. This is something that I relate to because I was like that when I was younger.
What I disliked about this book was the switch-up between the series of events while reading the book. They were a bit confusing sometimes, but besides that, I really enjoyed the book. I am rating this book four out of five stars because of my dislike of the book. I did not find any grammatical or spelling errors, which means the book was exceptionally well-edited. Furthermore, I recommend this book to readers who love adventurous stories.
