A summer at sea, and a choice about home

Marina’s study-abroad experience aboard a luxury yacht combines island life with hands-on marine biology: she swims alongside dolphins, sharks, and sea turtles across Caribbean destinations. Back on land, her longtime boyfriend wants her to return to Vermont, while an Australian boatmate offers a contrasting view of where she belongs. The story brings together a new environment, marine-life encounters, and the tension between an established relationship and Marina’s growing connection to life at sea.
