Tina Dreffin's book, Bluewater Walkabout into Africa, is a narrative of the author's life. Every time Tina's family relocates, Tina and her siblings take off in the family's sole car to explore the new location. In this book, the author also recounts her first and second meetings with her husband, Peter, before their nuptials. Their first encounter occurred at the Lake Geneva reception for her brother Keith's nuptials to Peter's sister Nora. Their second encounter occurred when Tina accepted Keith's invitation to visit Ft. Lauderdale and take care of his car while he, his wife Nora, and Peter embarked on an adventure that involved sailing to various locations across the ocean. Two sons, Adam and Warren, were born to Tina and Peter after their marriage. Together, they embarked on a journey from Port St. Francis, South Africa, to the Caribbean Sea by sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, along with their boys and two of their friends. At their first and second encounters, what happened between Tina and Peter? Were they successful in their adventure? Find out more by reading Tina Dreffin's book, Bluewater Walkabout into Africa.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Tina and her family's exciting adventure, which began with a trip to the Kruger National Park in South Africa and continued with a sailing trip from Port St. Francis across the Indian Ocean and across the Atlantic Ocean. Tina took good care of the boys by guiding and protecting them in any port they visited, which demonstrates how cautious Tina is as a mother. I like Adam, Warren, and their two friends; they made a good crew on the adventure.

I gained new knowledge about the Atlantic Ocean, various ports, and various cultures through reading this book. I enjoy Tina and Peter's relationship; I firmly believe that they were destined to be partners because they truly love one another for who they are. The writing style of Tina Dreffin is excellent, and I commend her for a well-narrated story. I really enjoyed reading this book.

There is absolutely nothing about this book that I don't like. I found Tina Dreffin's narrative to be both inspirational and motivating, and I found it fascinating to read about her adventure across the Atlantic. I'll rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it was flawlessly edited and free of grammatical mistakes.

I am a big fan of Tina’s She overcame many difficulties in her life. In addition, she had to possess great amounts of patience to endure such a journey with four teenage boys. I don’’t think that I’ll read this, though.
