Of course a book has been forthcoming. She’s been working on it for a while now. Why is that surprising?

Writing a book is not suspicious. All sailors do that.

Because I don't want to find the links in the post again (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2533958/posts?page=55#55)

It's part of the law of solosailing: If you are inspired by a previous sailor, you write to inspire the next generation.

What raised doubts about Abby's motivation for the voyage with me is that was that her book plans were vague until after she set foot on the fishing vessel Abby Sunderland will write a book Real sailors can't not write, any more than they can;t not sail.

(Probably only just learned that Jessica Watson had written one - for the past year it's always been about chasing Jess for Team Sunderland)
