Book Review: Cargo of Hope by Shane Granger
I've never been on a greater adventure than on the pages of Cargo of Hope. It's so full of Shane Granger's amazing experiences aboard Vega, an ages-old Norwegian-built sailboat that has taken him and his partner Meggi across thousands of miles of Earth's busiest sea lanes and yet visiting their most remote islands. Along the way, he has braved a category 5 cyclone, survived a devastating tsunami and its aftermath, sought out safe harbor among shallow shoals and dangerous seas, and traveled the rugged inland paths of remote spice islands delivering medical and educational supplies often by foot to people desperate for help.

These pages are brimming with great storytelling about the simple but hardy people of the islands, inexperienced but dedicated volunteer crew who accompany Shane and Megi on the voyage, and interesting strangers and friends from around the world who help them carry out their very simple mission of caring for the forgotten isolated people who raise the spices you often take for granted. And Shane's very charismatic voice in telling this true life story makes for fun reading, like receiving a dispatch from sea after a long, trying voyage. His keen sense of humor and Bonhomme entertains as well as informs of a life and lifestyle that will amaze and you will come to admire. One of my favorite reads ever.
Cargo of Hope is available in major bookstores around the world and online.
