TOMMIE SPEAR draws from a depth and breadth of sailing experience, having crewed on sailboats since her early teens. She is also the winner of numerous writing awards. However, the pages in her books and short stories come alive because she has the rare gift of writing not just from her mind, but also from her heart.

Reading her words is like living her experience. Tommie passed on a few years ago and we are grateful to have her book as her legacy.
