Sailing Yogi Shares Salty Tales: 20-Years Liveaboard Sailor Makes Splash With A Bestselling Sequel

February 21, 2024

Carole Fontaine has released the second in her bestselling series, S.A.I.L. Above the Clouds. In book 2, subtitled How to Align Your Life, the sailing yogi returns with insights and salty tales from 20 years on a sailboat, tackling the highs and lows of relationships in tight quarters, braving the unknown while surviving sea monsters, storms, sword encounters, and poop deck explosions. The sea-bound heroine saves divers from certain death, develops her intuition, and dives into mystical caves while reclaiming her life by conquering her fears, embracing her authenticity, and discovering what sets her soul on fire.

Each book in Fontaine's four-part series represents part of her signature program, S.A.I.L: Simplify, Align, Integrate, Let GoTM. Readers can replace the New Year’s resolution merry-go-round with an inspiring journey of self-discovery, learn how to tap into the power within, and apply the tools provided at the end of each adventure. Fontaine offers a salty perspective on healing your life and setting your compass towards success and happiness. The SAIL Above the Clouds series taps into the deep dives of Adrift, and merges the spirituality of Eat, Pray, Love with the saltiness of Captain Ron, making readers laugh, cry, and cringe.

SAIL Above The Clouds: How to SIMPLIFY Your Life was Finalist for Book of the Year from Book Talk Radio Club (UK), a bestseller on Amazon for weeks, and sold copies on five continents. Book #2 launched in December at the Soulful Steep in Pompano to an Amazon #1 New Release for 12 days –currently #4 –and was #1 on Amazon Canada for 3 days this past weekend.

A truly uplifting and empowering writer (and human being).” – Carolyn Delaney, Publisher, Journey Magazine
