With just 3 months until launch (May 2026), I share where the book actually is, working with editor Martina Tyrrell (a cruiser based in Spain who specialises in sailing family books), the challenge of keeping an authentic voice, and why addressing real objections matters more than just telling our story.This is the honest version; late nights, tight deadlines, Zoom calls with my editor in Spain, training AI protocols, commissioned writing (my Red Sea article drops in The Telegraph on 9th Feb!), and the pressure of making it work. The contrast between our basic life afloat eight years ago and the professional setup now is... quite something.Captain's Table members get early chapter access: patreon.com/mothershipadrift---💙 SUPPORT OUR CHANNELS:A big THANK-YOU to our MOTHERSHIP PATREON family who make these videos possible.
