Dedication to young sailors and the purpose of the book. From the moment I was a child, I felt the ocean call out to me in ways I could not fully understand at the time. Growing up in the quiet archipelago , the endless blue stretching to the horizon was more than just water; it was a symbol of freedom, adventure, and discovery. I would sit on the edge of the rocky shoreline, watching the sunlight dance on the waves , imagining myself aboard a sturdy vessel slicing through these waters, feeling the wind press against my face.
