Leonard has sailed more than 85,000 blue water miles over the past thirteen years, ranging from tropical oceans to Tasmania, Cape Horn, and the arctic seas north of Iceland. About the AuthorBeth A. She and her partner, Evans Starzinger, have been honored for their voyages by the Ocean Cruising Club (UK) and the Cruising Club of America (U.S.).

Compiled from her popular columns in Blue Water Sailing magazine, which she wrote along the way, Blue Horizons is more than an adventure saga, more than the log of an extended passage. Blue Horizons is a rare journey, one to be savored by sailors and armchair adventurers alike.Praise for Blue Horizons:“In her new, wonderful book, Beth Leonard shows us a world in which ‘perfection’ is not bland, easy, escapist comfort in a crowded tropical harbor but a more insecure yet more rewarding existence of constant challenge--cold waters, rocky coves, old fishing villages, demanding seamanship, and the evolution of two sailors trying to manage a boat and also their own relationship.” --John Rousmaniere, author of Fastnet, Force 10, After the Storm, and The Annapolis Book of Seamanship“Let Beth Leonard inspire you to sail around the world, explore the high latitudes, or discover your o
