Love with a chance of drowning: a memoir by Torre DeRoche.
A city girl with a morbid fear of deep water, Torre DeRoche is not
someone you would ordinarily find adrift in the middle of the stormy Pacific
aboard a leaky sailboat – total crew of two – struggling to keep an old boat, a
new relationship and her floundering sanity afloat.
But when she meets Ivan, a handsome Argentinean man with a humble
sailboat and a dream to set off exploring the world, Torre has to face a hard
decision: watch the man she's in love with sail away forever, or head off on
the watery journey with him. Suddenly the choice seems simple. She gives up her
sophisticated city life, faces her fear of water (and tendency towards
seasickness) and joins her lover on a year-long voyage across the Pacific.
Torre DeRoche is an Australian native and self-proclaimed
fearful adventurer. When she's not at home in Melbourne, Torre is at large in
the world, exploring, writing, painting pictures and snapping photos, as she
faces her fears one terrified step at a time. Stories of her adventures can be
found on her blog, fearfuladventurer.com.
