Publisher's summary

How far would you go to get your family out if you were convinced that America was doomed? Would you build an underground bunker and stockpile it with ammunition and supplies? Buy a cabin in the woods and start growing all your own food? Not if you were obsessed with boats the way Terry Bailey is obsessed. Terry has an escape plan to sail to the very ends of the earth; the only real option left to survive what's coming, according to him.

Convincing his new wife, teen stepdaughter, and preteen stepson that time is running out, he sells his recently-acquired family on the necessity to build a boat. Two years of hard labor later, Terry has his ship; a huge ocean-going catamaran he christens the Apocalypse. When the four of them move aboard and bid farewell to life on land, there is no need to wait for a disaster to strike, because Terry Bailey has created his own.

Sailing the Apocalypse is the sometimes serious, sometimes humorous story of a man who is about to go too far, told from the perspective of the 12-year-old stepson who watches it all unfold as he is swept along for the ride. Grab your copy now, and you'll be instantly swept up in this tale of misadventure too!

Shattering the "boat life" dream

The story is half ideological rant, and half a description of what it takes to build and travel via sailboat. The adult characters do nothing but complain the whole time. Honestly, a pretty toxic relationship. The narrator had a great voice but weird cadence that caught me off guard pretty often. Overall, worth listening to if you're interested in living on a boat (aka it's constant work).

Relationship conflict

The book is good to understand sailing but the plot was entirely personal relationship conflict.
