Julie Bradley is the author of Escape from the Ordinary and the upcoming Crossing Pirate Waters.Julie served over twenty years in Army Military Intelligence, then sailed off with her husband for the circumnavigation adventure of a lifetime. Julie and her engineer husband nurtured their dream of liveaboard sail cruising by reading classics such as Maiden Voyage, and The Perfect Storm.Their stack of Cruising World, Sail and Latitude 38 magazines grew to hoarder proportions until they irreversibly purged all their belongings in pursuit of their dream to sail around the world. Until their voyage, Julie's writing consisted of Intelligence reports, but eventually she loosened up enough and her writing has since appeared in Latitude 38, Cruising World, Boating New Zealand, and in the Sunday travel section of local and regional newspapers. Julie and her husband presently live in the high country of Arizona and "pay back" all their good fortune by doing volunteer disaster response humanitarian work for the International and American Red Cross. You can visit Julie and read about their disaster work around the world on her blog at juliebradleyauthor.com
Retire early, sell everything, buy a boat 4,000 miles away and sail around the world. What could go wrong?
Meet Glen and Julie, sailors who follow their dream and discover that reality can be even bigger than imagined. From Force 10 storms in the North Atlantic to the crystal blue waters and native dancers of French Polynesia, Escape from the Ordinary opens a window to adventures in extraordinary places not found in travel brochures.
Told with keen observations and sparkling with wry humor, Julie describes the terrors and pleasures of living a life of total independence on a sailboat where even simple decisions can have big consequences. This exhilarating, true story will thrill those planning to sail off into the sunset as well as armchair adventurers. Escape from the Ordinary reminds you of the unlimited possibilities in life and offers inspiration to go “all in” on your own dreams.

Exciting adventure and a true story Julie and Glen Bradley lived in our neighborhood for a few years. Although I know them and knew they sailed the ocean for 7 ½ years, I did not know of all their adventures. When I heard Julie wrote a book, I figured I’d be nice and order it. What an incredible surprise it was. I could not put the book down. It is well written and filled with adventures. Some so heart pounding I was afraid they would bring nightmares. I was happy to get to the parts where life was idyllic with beach walks and snorkeling, (spoiler alert) except for the shark encounter. Julie also did some great research on the places they went and stayed so the reader could learn the history and customs of those places. Buy this book, you will not be sorry you did and make sure you leave yourself time to read because you will want to see what happens next.You won't want to put it down! I think what draws people to this book is the extreme admiration for these modern day pioneers. We admire those that would give up a comfortable life, sell everything and embark on an adventure into the unknown. Secretly, we wish we had it in us, but life, fear, jobs, money or whatever creates roadblocks. What courage they must have had to follow this dream! So many places, so many adventures, and lessons learned. All along, because of Julie's descriptions, you are thinking, "How would I have handled that?" "What would I have done?" I love that it's written from a woman's point of view; and from someone who had little sailing experience. I recommend it highly!Great read An excellent first book from author Julie Bradley. The book is equal parts adventure, social commentary, history lesson, the natural world, and moments of self-reflection. You definitely don’t have to be a sailor to enjoy the tales of life on and off “It’s Enough”. Julie uses some sailing and boating terminology but explains each one in landlubber terms for the uninitiated. While the descriptions of surviving bad storms may turn some people away from a sailing life the descriptions of the various islands and countries she and Glen visited will probably prompt a few to book a flight somewhere they’ve not heard of before. You’ll certainly have a list of places to go to and places, perhaps, to avoid. Enjoy.
