Adventure: TAKE THE HELM
A Virtual Book Club Voyage + All-Inclusive Sailing Adventure
Inspired by First Light: Sailing Solo but Not Alone by Cole Brauer
March 20–22, 2027 | Madeira Beach, Florida
Join the Crew for a Charter Book Club Adventure inspired by Cole Brauer’s First Light: Sailing Solo but Not Alone.
Together, we’ll explore the deeper themes woven throughout Cole’s extraordinary journey around the world: courage, resilience, self-trust, vulnerability, connection, and navigating the unknown.
And consider what those themes illuminate within our own lives.
Cole may have sailed solo, but her story reminds us that none of us truly navigates alone.
We’ll explore that story as a CREW.

Four Live Virtual Book Club Crew Calls
Hosted by Charter Book Club Adventures and moderated by Monica Ticknor.
Before we set sail, we’ll gather for four live virtual book club conversations on Zoom to journey through First Light together.
We’ll reflect on Cole’s experiences at sea while exploring our own inner waters: the challenges we face, the people who help us navigate, the light we receive from others, and the courage it takes to take the helm of our own lives.
Our virtual gatherings create space for reflection, meaningful conversation, connection, and discovery.
Virtual dates will be scheduled prior to our in-person adventure based on our Crew’s availability.
THEN TAKE IT TO THE WATER
March 20–22, 2027 | Madeira Beach, Florida
We’ll bring our conversations beyond the page and onto the water during an all-inclusive sailing adventure with GirlsSailing.com aboard Opal.
GirlsSailing.com founder Captain Cherisse Ponraj will join our journey, sharing her sailing experience, wisdom, passion, and light with our Crew.
Together, we’ll experience what it means to navigate the waters, trust ourselves, lean on one another, and embrace the adventure of the unknown.
Learn the ropes.
Read the wind.
Navigate together.
Take the Helm.
No sailing experience required. Just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to adventure.
Our Crew is limited to five women.
