Description:You're young, living comfortably in southern California. You're financially secure, though you don't know why or how. Your husband simply ignores you when you ask too many questions. He's hoping for another job overseas, doing something. You're not sure what, but you suspect it's not what he says.You marriage is shaky. You survived a war in Cyprus together, lost everything. Now you're basically biding time.A letter arrives from friends in Cyprus, now sailing a new yacht from Taiwan to Europe for a Swedish millionaire. You're invited to join them in Sri Lanka, as crew. Neither of you knows boats, but you'll learn -- the trip of a lifetime, cruising the Indian Ocean in a pleasure yacht!And, it turns out, in monsoon season. With no charts. And an emotionally unstable crewmate. What could possibly go wrong?Good Morning Diego Garcia tells one woman's harrowing experience of physical and emotional horror in the brutal sea. As the boat falls apart in storm after storm, so does the crew's sanity. But for the author, the shifting reality opens her to extraordinary perceptions, and makes her more resilient. Stranded on coral at the infamous Diego Garcia military base, they are reluctantly rescued, their boat repaired, and sent on their way to the Seychelles. All the while she keeps a journal, including her dreams.Their arrival in India came as Prime Minister Indira Ghandi declared "The Emergency" in June 1975, and their return to fly back to the United States a few months later takes them to the radically-changed landscape of India during one of its darkest moments.Less than two years later, they are in Brussels, and one particularly lucid dream about her husband comes close to being her last.____Five stars: "Good Morning Diego Garcia: A Journey of Discovery by Susan Joyce is Book 2 in a series of travel memoirs that chronicle her adventure from the US to Sri Lanka, to Bombay, and across the eternity of the ocean, an adventure that curiously led her deeper into the depths of herself. In one of those doodles she makes in the still, quiet hours of the day, she reveals her deepest thoughts and new vistas into her questing soul. Here is one that captures the pulse of her heart, and perhaps, the reason for this book: "Collect information! Embrace Unknown! Embrace Uncertainty!""In Good Morning Diego Garcia: A Journey of Discovery, Susan Joyce comes across as a skillful storyteller. Her memoir goes beyond the retelling of a personal story to becoming one of the beautiful social commentaries of her time. Written with simplicity, this book is about courage. The tone can be serious, and at times humorous, but readers will love this book for the author's candor and honesty, and in the way she opens her heart to readers, revealing a very rich humanity. The dialogue, at every instant, feels honest and natural; the characters are as real and convincing as any non-fictional characters could be."The lessons from these personal travel stories are universal. It's interesting to see how the author's courage guides her in making choices that reveal her to herself and how embracing the unknown can be the surest path towards growth and self-discovery. This is one of the travel books that I'll highly recommend to readers. I loved the book. I smiled, laughed, and felt knots in my tummy at times. It's very entertaining and educative."- Romuald Dzemo for Readers' FavoriteWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
