Their book "World Voyagers" ($29.95, Book Orchard Press, April 2007) began as a series of weekly blogs on www.worldvoyagers.com about the journey before being collected into a 432-page hardcover version.
Wood outfitted the boat as a small animal hospital, neutering and spaying animals in areas without vets as well as caring for injured wildlife encountered along the way.Eschewing the typical travel guide style of describing "destination hot spots" in favor of dialogue with locals and her travel companions. Wood engages the reader in her personal accounts through such locations as the Bahamas, Galapagos, Fiji and Capetown. In Port Antonio, she describes a dish typically served at Jamaican weddings: "Apparently a real head was removed from a real goat, smashed up with a lead pipe and then all the parts were put in a big pot along with some other choice tidbits, including the cloven hooves and intestines."
The book is illustrated with some of Wood's paintings and 32 color pages of photos along with original cartoons, maps and poems. At the end is Wood's glossary of terms found in the book, although she cautions: "Some old salts may dissagree with my definitions -- tough toerails, I'm not changing anything!"
