Distant Story Blue: A Family, a Boat, an Adventure at Sea

Distant Story Blue takes readers along this journey with poetry, non-fiction, and fiction, interwoven, stretched, and pulled like the lines of a taunt sail. You will experience gentle nights of calm awe and terrifying nights of near-death. Her fiction will only give you escape from this into mythical history or a post-apocalyptic future. Magdalena's non-fiction will take you through the all-to-familiar life of a mom but squeezed into 49 feet with no escape. She will share her journals, and her moments on night shift alone in the dark in the middle of nowhere. Her prose will push you to the limits of sanity as the waves and wind build, and they must seek sanctuary at Beveridge Reef, a coral atoll impossible to spot with the naked eye due to there being no land. After surviving the South Pacific, take refuge in her poetry and prose via her sailboat and campervan, as she explores all of North and South Island, New Zealand.
