Val Pengelly has reached the end of a long road in her marriage. She must leave her Cornish home and she's looking for new beginnings. Life is dull and going nowhere when love arrives in the shape of handsome, rugged Cornishman Mike Daniels who offers her adventure and excitement starting with a journey across the Mediterranean on a forty foot yacht named Cornish Odyssey. Mike and Val face storms, armed guards and a knife wielding pirate along the way. They brush with Greek gods, mice and temples and they watch playful dolphins and flying fish diving into Odyssey's bow waves in the Tyrrhenian Sea. There are some tears, some frustration and doubts, a near death experience and terrible sea sickness, but there is positivity, love and lots of laughter too. And in the end, will they stay together or has the journey been too tortuous?
