Description
A solo journey spanning several countries across the continent, from the south coast of England to the shores of Greece, is the incredible story of Susan Smillie's three-year adventure on her sailboat, Isean. With only the basics on board, resourcefulness becomes an unexpected source of joy and contentment.
This wasn't merely a challenge, a mid-life adventure or gap-year career break; it was much gentler than that, but much greater too. Smillie's journey awakens a newfound appreciation for the beauty of her surroundings, for being safe - for just being alive.
Along the way, she discovers an inner journey that takes place alongside the physical and navigational challenges of her journey. A story of resilience, self-discovery, and the unexpected joy of solitude, The Half Bird is a moving and impressive account of one woman's journey to find happiness.
