Author: KAY COTTEE Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 286 This is the paperback edition of Kay's inspiring life on land ten years after her historic round-the-world voyage. On 5 June, 1988, Kay Cottee fulfilled her childhood dream - to become the first woman in history to complete a solo, nonstop and unassisted sailing voyage around the world. Now, a decade on, Kay candidly fills in the details of her life since that historic achievement, painting an inspiring portrait of one of Australia's greatest women. Kay's book has been written to answer many of the questions she is constantly asked as she criss-crosses Australia and the world to tell her of her remarkable voyage. She reflects on the journey that catapulted an ordinary woman into the limelight, which saw her dine with royalty and presidents, tour the outback talking to Australian kids about achieving their dreams and take on a gruelling speaking schedule which single-handedly raised more than $1 million for the Life Education charity. Kay recounts the funny, exciting and sad stories that come with life in the public eye, and her profound love for the country that gave her the chance to reach for her star. She tells of the trials and tribulations of her unconventional years as Chairman of Australia's National Maritime Museum and her passions away from the water - painting and sculpting - and the joys of marriage and motherhood. Kay Cottee lives in the Northern Beaches of Sydney with her husband Peter Sutton, their son, Lee, and of course, the magnificent First Lady, where she paints, sculpts and sails. She continues to amaze people with her dedication to the causes she is most passionate about - the National Maritime Museum, Life Education Australia, and Sailability. Kay also is a sought after motivational speaker on the speaking circuit. Directly after publication of this paperback, there will be a very public event, engineered by the Australian Maritime Museum and Kay Cottee, which involves her beloved boat, First Lady. This event guarantees heaps of publicity for Kay, "First Lady" and the paperback edition of "All at Sea on Land". Kay's first book, "First Lady", the story of her incredible voyage, has sold to date an incredible 150,000 copies! She made a huge impact on people, and really let people in on her own personal experience. People feel they have grown with Kay, and "All at Sea on Land" takes us on her fascinating life's journey since her round the world trip. "All at Sea on Land" has also sold an impressive amount of copies; and the publication of the paperback can only go on to consolidate Kay's talents as a writer, motivational speaker, and publicity machine extraordinaire. For all those people who felt as though they have known Kay through her first book "First Lady", this is the continuing story of her achievements .but as well, for all those people who are finding out about her for the first time, this book will really reveal the truly motivational person that Kay is. "All at Sea on Land" is not just a biography. It's wonderfully personalised account of how motivation, determination and sheer will can let you do almost anything! Whereas "First Lady" was the story of a truly extraordinary achievement, "All at Sea on Land" is about Kay tackling the rigours of everyday life - challenges we all have to meet. "All at Sea on Land" gives a fascinating and honest perspective into what it's like for a person to cope with all the attention after achieving a remarkable feat. Secondhand, Paperback.
