The eagle has landed
I know it’s been a long time cooking and you have been waiting oh-so-very patiently for the whole story of the ocean, so I am pleased to announce that the wait is mostly over and the story is yours. I received my first copy of ‘A Dip in the Ocean’ last week and was full of smiles and tears and a little bit of befuddlement. Seeing my name on the spine of the book is a little surreal and I am really chuffed with it.
Although it doesn’t officially publish until 7th February, it seems that pre-orders via Amazon have already been shipped and lots of lovely comments have already flown my way. Happy days indeed – it has been a monster journey getting to this point but I think, like any toughie, it is worth it. So I hope you enjoy it, wherever you are in the world and whatever your relationship with the waves. I would love to know what you think – do drop me a line or write a review online.To order via Amazon click here.
I am delighted to announce that there is going to be a German version, too – confirmed this week for publication in the spring, and a Vook (a trendy new e-book with video excerpts) due for launch around my L2L departure date. Watch this space…
Book Launch and signings
We’re having a wee book launch in London on February 16th, from 1830 to 2030 at Daunts Bookshop, Holland Park, London. Drop me a line to let me know if you would like to join us. 100 people max, so I need to make sure we don’t overrun.
I shall be signing books in Oakham on Feb 12th at ‘Buy the Book’, 11am – 1pm. We’re currently looking at dates for Oxford and Stamford, too.

Hey Sarah I forgot to say
Congratulations on your FIRST book ~ I know there will be more but the first is something very special !!!
I hope to be at your book launch but need to re-arrange things for that date first.
Hi Sarah.
Great news. Keep up the good work.
Hello! We met you in Tregedna back in August while you were putting the final touches to your book (and getting some canoeing in), and as the unfit mummy that I’d become I was very inspired…! if you’re ever back in East Finch let us know; in the mean time am looking forward to reading your first book – many congratulations!!!
Love the video Sarah. I hadn’t realised “pushing a giant tractor tyre” was going to be added as the fourth method of transport for L2L.
P.S. The book’s great everybody (from someone who had a sneak preview).
Congratulations Sarah – so cool to have your own book, must have been a mammoth effort to get to this point, but well worth it.
I will definitely be reading for some much needed inspiration and motivation.

I was wondering about your book. Will it be set out like a diary?
Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Aye Tim, tractor hauling between Poland and the Ukraine I think!
Charlie – the book isn’t laid out like a diary, no

Am loving the book and very excited about L2L. Will be watching all the way. You are an inspiration. We live in The Netherlands -and the dutch have one word to offer when times are tough. Sterkte. Strength.
We wish you well
