A Family's Adventure at Sea and the Disaster that Saved Them

Book • 2008

In 'Black Wave', John and Jean Silverwood recount their family's journey aboard their catamaran, the Emerald Jane.

The book delves into the family dynamics, the struggles with nature, and the personal battles, particularly John's fight with alcoholism.

The narrative is split between Jean's and John's perspectives, with Jean focusing on the emotional and familial aspects, and John providing a historical and nautical context.

The story culminates in a dramatic accident where the boat runs aground on coral, leading to a life-threatening ordeal for the family.
