About Wendy Leo-Smith

Hello! I'm WENDY, and my life has been a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns..

Born a farmer's daughter, I grew up surrounded by the simplicity and hard work of rural life. I went on to lead an ordinary life, working in a high street bank. But in my 20s, life took a devastating turn when I was tragically widowed. In the aftermath of this loss, I sought a new direction in life and discovered sailing.

From the moment I set sail, I instantly fell in love with the open sea. The vastness of the ocean became both my refuge and my place of healing, offering a sense of freedom that I had never known before.

My love for adventure, combined with the lessons I've learned through grief, ultimately shaped my memoir, "Come Sail with Me."

Through my story, I hope to inspire others to find courage, resilience, and hope, even in the face of life's most difficult challenges.
