Larry had dreamed of sailing around the world ever since he first stepped foot into a sailboat at the age of 13. He held onto that dream for 30 years, until one day he realized that "it's now or never". He left his corporate job, trading his comfortable executive life for adventure. A true story memoir packed with lessons from the ocean that served as a teacher of seamanship, personal strength, growth, leadership, and perseverance, while Larry and his crew discovered themselves, and the world.

Grit and Grace

Would you consider the audio edition of The Boy Behind the Gate: How His Dream of Sailing Around the World Became a Six-Year Odyssey of Adventure, Fear, Discovery and Love to be better than the print version?
First of all, Larry is a wonderful speaker and it is no surprise to me that he is so well received.
I felt fortunate that I had heard Larry's musical, happy voice as I read the hardbound copy of The Boy Behind the Gate. It made "my" journey around the world all the more real. I am so glad that his is the voice in this recording!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Although I do very much enjoy Larry as a character, I will have to say that the ocean had the most dramatic role and I have to applaud Ken for his moxie.
Which character – as performed by Larry Jacobson – was your favorite?
This may not actually be a straightforward answer to the question but whenever Larry speaks of his mom, wow - the love - what a genuine man!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Larry has a great sense of humor and his sensitivity toward others is evident. This book evokes laughter and tears, frustration and joy and wonder.
Any additional comments?
Larry Jacobson continues to share his dream. I enjoy his voice and his enthusiasm as I listen to him tell his story of grit and grace.
