Review of Bluewater Walkabout
In her autobiography Bluewater Walkabout: Into Africa, Tina Dreffin tells the inspiring tale of a young woman who chose to stand up for herself and refused to allow social norms hold her back. To create a life on the sea, the author joyfully accompanies her adventure partner and soul love. Together, they raise their family and travel the globe, experiencing happiness and suffering. Since the water is only sometimes kind, they must work together to survive. In telling her tale, she illustrates that in addition to having the strength to face the challenges presented by her physical, environmental, and medical problems, she also has the capability to be modest and open to vulnerability at the same time. She doesn't hold back when discussing delicate aspects of her personal life, and in the end, she exhibits an upbeat outlook that most people strive to but seldom realize. She has shown us that you can discover your own personal paradise if you are passionate about something and follow it to the very end.
In Tina Dreffin's novel Bluewater Walkabout, a sailing family voyages to South Africa: to buy a big catamaran, into Africa. They navigate the boat across the Atlantic Ocean to go back to the Bahamas. Tina writes extensively about her childhood and difficulties. She continues by talking about their wonderful life spent traveling the Bahamas and raising their two sons aboard. When they first arrive in Africa, the whole family embarks on an African safari that includes several encounters with wild animals. Tina's evocative descriptions of their journey to the isolated island of St. Helena in the middle of the Atlantic captured my attention completely.
I admire Tina's meticulous writing, which brilliantly captured all the subtler aspects of the Dreffin family stories. I believed I was experiencing every aspect of the African safari, including the terrifying, exhilarating, and humorous moments. Reading about the numerous sailing adventures, both successful and unsuccessful, has given me a new outlook and more respect for those who live this way of life. Even if it's only seldom pleasurable, the advantages are substantial. I really like Tina's book's intriguing descriptions of her and her husband Peter's international maritime journeys and other wacky adventures with their two boys, Adam and Warren.
This book is really educational. Tina Dreffin offered guidance on creating healthy connections and terminating toxic ones. Based on an incident in which she was sexually assaulted, Tina gave advice on how to deal with bullies. On the other hand, she provided general advice based on her successful marriage on how to position oneself to meet the ideal life partner. I don't have any complaints about this book. I found the book to be incredibly well-edited since I didn't find any mistakes while reading it.
I give this book a score of 5 out of 5 stars. I suggest this book to anyone searching for a good read with guidance on how to avoid or manage miscarriages, support traditional family values, and foster lifetime relationships. I suggest this novel to people who like adventure, thrills, and unwavering love.
