And Then We Hit a Rock and Greg Buenzli's Story - A Hilarious True Story of Family, Sailing, Storms, and Survival on the Open Sea #956972

What happens when a family trades ordinary life for a sailboat and heads into the unknown?

Adventure.

Chaos.

And occasionally… a rock.

In And Then We Hit a Rock and Greg Buenzli's Story, one family sets out to chase a long-held dream: leaving land behind and exploring life on the water aboard their 46-foot catamaran, Twig. What follows is a hilarious, unpredictable, and unforgettable journey along the East Coast and into the islands of the Atlantic.
From the moment the lines are untied, it becomes clear that sailing isn’t just about palm trees and perfect sunsets. It’s about learning the strange realities of life afloat—like how marine toilets develop personalities, why anchors refuse to cooperate at the worst possible moments, and how one lost shoe can become the ocean’s newest treasure.

Along the way the crew of Twig encounters:

• Sudden storms and twisting waterspouts
• Curious crabs and mysterious fog banks
• Massive naval warships and rogue fishing boats
• Midnight plumbing emergencies and grocery store revelations
• And the unforgettable moment when the journey earns its title

Filled with humor, honesty, and the unpredictable charm of life at sea, this true story captures the reality of chasing adventure as a family. It’s a tale about problem-solving, patience, and the small moments that turn ordinary travel into extraordinary memories.
Because sailing isn’t just about where you go.

It’s about the stories you collect along the way.

Perfect for readers who love travel memoirs, sailing adventures, and laugh-out-loud true stories, And Then We Hit a Rock proves that the best journeys rarely go exactly as planned—and that’s exactly what makes them worth taking.
