Family memoir
Crossings in Realitas
Crossings in Realitas is the third book from Jan Mitchell. This memoir tells of her family's travels by yacht over fifteen years. Within months of returning to Sydney after their 1970s circumnavigation, cruising sailors Jan and Ian Mitchell (Two in a Top Hat) were the parents of a second child. Their dream was to buy a larger boat and take their family on a second world cruise, but they soon realised this wasn't financially possible. Then they faced the question: How could they ease the stresses of city living, paid work and child rearing?
In Crossings in Realitas, Jan reveals the highs and lows of their struggles, through illness and financial hardship, to retain ownership of Realitas, their 32' yacht and take their family ocean cruising.
Crossings in Realitas was published in mid 2015.
