The historic meeting of the clans: from the left, and sitting on her
apartment's balcony overlooking beautiful Collaroy Beach north of Sydney, are
Adrienne Cahalan, her mother, Patricia, Adrienne's aunt June--and,
representing the northern hemisphere, Jim and Rose. Adrienne is perhaps
the most celebrated boatswoman in the world, "The
Fastest Woman Circumnavigator."

"We spent a delightful afternoon high atop the fantastically beautiful
beach, over tea and scones, chatting at great length"--even though Adrienne had
the flu and book galleys to finish proofreading.
