About this deal

Married At First Sight viewers SLAM Luke's 'disgusting' behaviour and brand him a 'BULLY' after starting fight with Jordan A nation of wheeler dealers: Half who sold a car online did so to an online buying service... and three-quarters were HAPPY with the experience! In 1976, 7-year-old Heywood set sail from Plymouth, England, with her parents and brother, Jon. Their itinerary seemed simple: Take Wavewalker, the family boat, and follow the oceanic path sailed by famed Capt. James Cook 200 years prior. Once aboard, however, the voyage proved to be far less straightforward than they anticipated. The unrelenting ocean was sometimes generous to the family, sending adventure and elegant marine life for them to behold, but in many other moments, it caused turmoil, taking out its rage on the boat, the family, and a host of crewmembers who joined them at various ports. Their journey ultimately extended beyond the three years initially planned; though the family was evenly divided on whether to continue the adventure, her father decided they would go on. “This isn’t a democracy. It’s a benevolent dictatorship,” he explained. “The captain always gets the deciding vote.” They remained at sea for seven more years, during which time they covered 47,000 nautical miles, “equivalent to circumnavigating the globe twice.” Using maps and counting the days spent at sea as signposts, Heywood transports readers into her world, viewed through a porthole. Like the waters they traversed, familial relationships became choppy when the author grew from girlhood to near adulthood. “My parents [were] caught up in their own needs,” she recalls, relating how her longing for stability changed her from unwitting accomplice to conscientious objector, “frustrated by my impotence and isolation.” She took solace in her correspondence-school studies and eventually earned an offer to stay ashore and study at Oxford. Retelling her story in engaging prose, Heywood asks for neither pity nor sympathy; rather, she seeks healing and catharsis by retracing a childhood lost at sea.

And then I tried to keep in touch with those friends once we kept sailing again, by writing to them every time we got to a port and trying to get letters from them. I was instructed that I had to look after my brother, I had to cook and clean as I'd been expected to do on the boat.”

I mean, to put your kids on a boat for a decade, without really any proper provision for schooling, for friendships, to do very, very dangerous trips.” Heywood, Suzanne (2017). Recollections of a Female Archaeologist: A Life of Brenda Swinbank. Blurb Publishing.

Robert De Niro loses his cool in court after being asked if he urinated while on the phone to his ex-assistant and called her a bi**h As I say, my parents, I'm afraid, had very sexist views on roles on the boat, I was expected to cook and clean down below and we took paying crew on board. So, we were a bit like a floating hotel, particularly for the last six or seven years on the boat. One of the things I've learned, as I say, I’m 54, is you do have the ability to choose who you want to spend your time with in life. Heywood says her parents were extreme, even for the times, in their need to follow their dreams no matter the consequences for their children. I read an extract in The Guardian and waited impatiently for publication day, I’ve been going for long walks so I had more opportunities to listen - it’s so gripping. I was left with such a feeling of awe for Suzanne and what she has achieved.I also found accounts online of her brother and father discrediting Suzanne’s account (ie this book). To be honest these didn’t hold water for me. The family clearly had a very sexist approach towards male and female roles, and to have the two men of the family rubbishing the woman’s account was no great surprise. They simply didn’t have any awareness. She's now a successful business leader and mother of three. Her husband, former Cabinet Secretary Jeremy Heywood, died tragically young in 2018. (The couple pictured in 2012) A few months into the voyage, cooped up with her family and small crew in their schooner Wavewalker, Suzanne's skull would be smashed when the boat was tipped over by a 40ft wave in the Indian Ocean, requiring seven operations without anaesthetic performed by a doctor on a tiny remote island.
