description: Journey of the Snow Goose chronicles the spiritual and physical sojourn of Barbary and Bill Chaapel, who leave land and everything it represents behind them to sail away in a tiny sailboat for 7 1/2 years. They leave the known luxury of home, career, friends and family for the vast and deep unknown, sailing long and hard on the wind, sea-salted eyes searching for glimpse of land…all for slowed moments together, challenging their hearts to grow. In the year before they left Cleveland, they read and studied every book on heavy weather sailing, navigation, tides and currents the Cuyahoga County Library system had to offer. Although they knew how to pour oil on troubled waters and trail a sea anchor in a storm, nothing prepared them for the solitude of two, anchoring off an isolated far-away island. Years ago, with the precision of sailors’ tools and compass rose, fate already had charted their course.
