Liz Clark, who has been out cruising aboard her Cal 40 Swell for the last decade and has logged some 20,000 miles cruising the Pacific Ocean from surfing paradise to surfing paradise, is an American original.
Her story, published in her memoir Swell, is an inspiration. The book was published in hardcover in 2018 but has recently been release as a paperback.
As a solo sailor and a young woman traveling on her own, Liz has been faced with a wide array of challenges and opportunities. She cer6ainly is unique in the cruising community. And, no doubt, in the surfing community as well
Swell is the account of what she learned at sea. A tale of growth and accomplishment mixed with hard times and solitary tears. It is a fun read for men and women of all ages who admire adventurers and independent spirits. The book is available in most book store and online venues.
