From the Graveyard of the Pacific to the paradise of the Polynesian Islands…
Katherine and Andrés leave lucrative jobs and a stable life to accomplish his dream
of sailing the world. She worries what awaits them beyond the horizon: Failure?
Pirates? Poverty? Will they make it to the South Pacific, and will they survive the
voyage? (Better yet, will their marriage?)
The epic expedition puts them face-to-face with waves that threaten to take their lives, whales that take their breath
away, and strangers who show serendipitous hospitality.
Katherine, a natural
storyteller, invites you aboard to experience firsthand an immersive, multimedia
journey that places you on deck as they cross the world’s largest ocean.

Reader Reviews
“Katherine has a rare stylistic gift for bringing readers along for the ride. The Co-Captain’s Log is as immersive as jumping into the crystal blue waters of the South Pacific.”
“Land-locked readers will live vicariously as this fearless crew of two navigates mishaps and forges new connections far from home. González weaves a compelling tale of sacrifice, teamwork, grit and love on the open seas. In short, it’s a great read.”
“A powerful story about the risks and rewards of answering the call to adventure. It’s an enjoyable read of a journey few have taken.”
“We cast off the dock lines, left safe harbor, and set sail for what we hope will be the best years of our lives.”
