Bluewater Walkabout by Tina Dreffin is an inspiring memoir that takes readers on a journey through the author's incredible adventures as she, her husband, and two young children sail around the world. The book is not only a travelogue but also a personal reflection on the author's growth and transformation during the journey. Bluewater Walkabout is a fascinating and inspiring memoir that combines adventure, travel, and personal growth into an engaging and thought-provoking reading experience.

Bluewater Walkabout has several positive aspects that make it engaging and inspiring to read. The book is well-written and contains vivid descriptions of the various locations and cultures the author encounters during her journey. The book also offers a unique perspective on sailing around the world and the challenges and joys of living a life of adventure and exploration, providing valuable insights into the various cultures and locations visited throughout the book and making for an educational experience.

There are a few negative aspects that some readers may find problematic or unappealing. The book contains a significant amount of technical details related to sailing and boat maintenance that some readers may find tedious or overwhelming, and the book's pacing can be slow at times, particularly during the sections focused on sailing and boat maintenance, which may be too detailed or lengthy for some readers.

I rate the book 4 out of 5 stars because of its engaging writing style, vivid descriptions, and insightful reflections on personal growth. Bluewater Walkabout is a beautifully written, thought-provoking book that will transport readers to exotic locales and challenge them to consider the deeper meaning of their own lives.

Bluewater Walkabout by Tina Dreffin is recommended for readers who enjoy travel memoirs, sailing and adventure stories. It is also a great read for those interested in personal growth and reflection, as the author shares her insights and lessons learned during her journey around the world.
