A Voyage Beyond Reason takes Ben
Wade on a personal search for the meaning of his life
that soon turns into a struggle for his very survival.
Matching young muscles to an old sea, and a young mind
to old sources of
madness,
survival will be the least victory he will gain from
this quest.
A young man finds his dreams at a dead end, his life
going nowhere near where he’d planned it would be by
now. Finally, the death of a beloved grandfather spins
his world in a tighter and tighter circle, until he is
driven to a pinprick of light that he grasps and weaves
into a plan for a singular, spectacular, survival driven
quest. This quest will become his path to redirecting
his life, his values, his spiritual beliefs, and his
will to go it alone – if he lives through it.
With the purchase of an
eighteen foot kayak, twenty four year old Ben Wade
begins to plan for his needs that will sustain him on a
voyage of six thousand miles – beginning at the head of
the Sea of
Cortez,
Baja California, and finishing, hopefully
finishing, on the shores of
Colombia,
South America. Naiveté and youthful exuberance
rule the effort. Mistakes are made; assumptions are
wildly off their marks. But that won’t be known until it
is too late.
Ben Wade struggles between a bravado filled defense of
his plan, and the nearly unanimous doubt and fear
expressed by those he cared for. But there is no turning
back for Ben. No one could fully understand the depth of
the need that was rooted in his soul. Superficial fear
was not enough to deter his single focus on his quest.
Further complicating his singular purpose is a beautiful
young lady that burst into his life only a few weeks
before he waded into the sea – and his destiny.
Six Months after he launched into the Sea of Cortez his
hand written, stained and tattered journals are found
buried at the head of a steep slope overlooking the
Pacific Ocean – in Colombia, South America . . . .
