520    Temping the night shift in a high-rise cubicle, Erik Orton
       knew something had to change. He felt the responsibility 
       of providing for his wife and their five children-the 
       youngest with Down syndrome-but craved a life that offered
       more than just surviving. Watching the sailboats on the 
       Hudson River during his sunset dinner breaks, Erik dared 
       to dream. What would it be like to leave the hustle of the
       city and instead spend a year on a sailboat, somewhere 
       beautiful, as a family? Despite having no sailing 
       experience, his wife Emily's phobia of deep water, and 
       already stretching every dollar to pay rent and buy 
       groceries, the family of seven turned their excuses into 
       reasons and their fears into motivation. Sure, they would 
       miss their friends, they could go broke, they could get 
       injured or die. Worst of all, they could humiliate 
       themselves by trying something audacious and failing. But 
       the little time they still had together as a family, 
       before their oldest daughter left for college, was 
       drifting away. The Ortons cast off the life they knew to 
       begin an uncertain journey of 5,000 miles between New York
       City and the Caribbean, ultimately arriving at a new place
       within themselves. A portrait of a captivating and 
       resilient family and a celebration of the courage it takes
       to head for something over the horizon, this is a deeply 
       compelling story-told alternately by Erik and Emily-for 
       everyone who dreams of leaving routine in their wake.
