My favorite quote in this book is from Mark Twain. He explained that two decades from now, we would be more disappointed over the things we could not do than the ones we did. The moral lessons I picked from the quote are overwhelming. It is much better to live than exist in this primitive world. Our lives become sweeter when we engage in new activities, create memorable experiences, and live our best than just existing and working tirelessly for meager payments. In Bluewater Walkabout, the author tells us about her experiences and adventures in the African continent. Tina Dreffin explained that her initial obsession was working tirelessly for ends meet and getting herself a new car. Unfortunately, she was a victim of sexual assault in her former place of work.

Tina Dreffin's life became much better after she met a man named Peter, who proposed marriage to her. The couple embarked on a journey with their two biological sons and friends. It was a loving and enjoyable trip for the family and friends, but they also faced some difficult moments. Most gladly, Tina Dreffin regained her peace and healing from the expedition. Get a copy of this beautiful book and read the whole exciting story.

It is difficult to see people with so much courage and willingness to share their traumatic experiences. The author narrates her bad times to serve as a lesson to others. She has given the masses knowledge about the implications of this deadly act of rape and sexual harassment. I learned much from her story and her journey to another destination with her family and friends. I love that she was relieved of her stress while on that adventure. Her full explanation of the things and places she met while going made it easy to imagine the whole scenario. After reading this book, I will engage in different adventures to witness what Tina felt.

Again, I love this book's beautiful marital relationship between the author and her spouse. Their marriage truly helped each other, especially Tina, who was frequently depressed in this book. But the husband stood so much for her and brought up adventurous plans so that she could relieve herself a bit. I disliked nothing about this book; I enjoyed every bit of it. It was both exciting and educational while I was reading it.

I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars because it merits it. The author did a fantastic job, and the editor must be a professional because the book was exceptionally well-edited with no mistakes. I recommend this book to everyone who loves reading novels. The book will undoubtedly be worth every time you put into it. Also, it will be favorable and helpful to everyone undergoing hard times like Tina.

I like the fact that the book is based on the author’s life experience. I agree with her. we don’t have to work tirelessly. Sometimes we need to go on a vacation and spend time with our family.

The book following the Journey of the author already makes it seem like it would be an interesting one. A wonderfully written review i must say. I would love to find out how the journey turned out to be.

I am glad that the author was able to find comfort and peace while sailing. Doing anything with four teenage boys is usually not stress-relieving.
