ATLANTIC CHILDREN – PART 2
by Juliet Dearlove

Description

Homeward Bound Through Wonder and Weather

The journey continues—but this time, it’s the way back that proves the real adventure. In Atlantic Children – Part 2, Juliet Dearlove picks up the family logbook as they turn their bow north from the Caribbean, facing the long ocean miles, new landfalls, and the bittersweet pull of home.

This heartful sequel follows the Dearlove family as they navigate the second leg of their Atlantic circuit—from palm-fringed anchorages to the vast emptiness of the North Atlantic, via the Azores and onwards to Europe. With the kids now seasoned crew and parents juggling maintenance, morale, and maths lessons, the story shifts into deeper territory—how travel shapes identity, what ‘home’ means after a year at sea, and how families grow together in motion.

Juliet’s writing continues to shine with humour, humility, and honesty. She doesn’t shy away from stormy nights, tricky passages, or the odd frayed nerve—but the narrative is equally rich with joy: swimming in volcanic calderas, chance encounters with fellow sailors, and the quiet triumph of crossing oceans as a team.

Part two is not just a continuation—it’s a culmination. It captures the full circle of family cruising, the return journey that’s rarely told but always transformative.

Ideal for:
• Families curious about the full arc of a bluewater voyage
• Readers of Part 1 who want to know what came next
• Cruisers and dreamers looking for real stories from real sailors

Atlantic Children – Part 2 is a celebration of resilience, connection, and the extraordinary things that happen when you set sail as a family. A must-read for anyone who believes adventure doesn’t end when the wind shifts—it just changes direction.
