At the age of twenty-nine, Chris Geganto - who had been waking up at the crack of dawn each day to work a demanding job on a construction site - decided he needed to make a change in direction in his life. Growing up he was always infatuated with sailboats and the sea, so he proposed a plan to his wife, Margaret, to take a sabbatical and set sail to the Bahamas for the winter in search of something. What they found was adventure in the high seas, experiences that brought them closer together, and most importantly, who they really are. Getting Yourself Out There tells the story of how deciding to step away helps you gain new perspectives about yourself and move forward faster upon your return in the right direction. He helps to define the "why" behind stepping away from everything and taking a sabbatical earlier in your life instead of later. This story chronicles the adventures of buying a boat, quitting jobs, learning to sail, and finding paradise on a sailboat in the many islands of the Bahamas, before turning thirty. An inspiring story about a family deciding to make a change, Getting Yourself Out There is a wonderful example of how leaving everything behind for a year can teach you about who you really are and change your life forever.
