In 2003, John and Jean Silverwood, a middle-aged couple from San Diego, took their life savings to buy a 55-foot sailboat, packed up their four children and began what we can only dream of, a round the world cruise on a catamaran. Their book, Black Wave, chronicles the adventure of a lifetime, until their dream turns into a deadly nightmare. About 350 miles off Tahiti, the family's catamaran, strikes a hidden reef in treacherous nighttime seas. Pounded by giant waves, the boat shatters. John is severely injured when the mast topples and nearly severs his leg. The family is stranded on a razor-sharp coral reef, struggling to keep John alive and somehow survive. Curious how this ends? You'll have to attend the meeting and hear it for yourself. You won't be dissapointed. Remember to bring a book for the author to sign. More information...
