Sally Andrew is a Canadian author now living on Vancouver Island where she and her partner are sailing the Salish Sea. She is the author of 3 travel books – Paradise Found: Caught in the Groove of the Pacific Eddy; Cruising Down Under; and Vagabonds Afloat in France.

She got the travel bug when she was 19 and moved to Europe. Based in London she hitch-hiked through the British Isles and across Europe. Later, a cross-country road trip led to alpine hikes in the Rockies, sleeping rough in Vancouver, getting trapped in a blizzard on a hiking trail in the Pacific Northwest, and finally being threatened with a gun while hanging out in San Francisco. Needing a change of pace she signed on as crew aboard a 40-foot sailboat heading to Tahiti. It was 1983. 

Fate intervened. She never got to French Polynesia.

She jumped ship in Cabo San Lucas (Mexico) and joined forces with Canadian skipper Foster Goodfellow. Together they realized their dream of sailing to the South Pacific and beyond. They now make their home in British Columbia.
