SUMMARY:Artist and Author Karson Brown In Conversation with Author Beth A
 nn Mathews re: Karson's Gripping Memoir "48 Days to Barbados."
DESCRIPTION:Batten the hatches and all hands on deck as artist and author
  Karson Brown presents her gripping debut memoir\, 48 Days to Barbados. 
 In late summer 1999\, twenty-eight-year-old Karson and her friend Erin a
 nswered a call for experienced female sailors to help deliver a 34-foot 
 vessel from Portugal to Florida. Both were experienced sailors and looki
 ng for an adventure. They agreed to join the woman aboard her sailboat. 
 What began as an exhilarating 21-day Atlantic crossing quickly spiraled 
 into a fight for survival at the outset of hurricane season. First\, the
  engine dies\; then they discover their water supply is contaminated and
  undrinkable and their food provisions dwindling. Forced to navigate by 
 the stars while battling high winds and storms\, the days stretch to wee
 ks and their mental health begins to deteriorate. How they survived—and 
 processed the aftermath—forms the heart of this deeply personal story of
  resilience and self-discovery. Karson will be joined in conversation by
  author and marine biologist Beth Ann Mathews\, who knows a thing or two
  about sailing on the open sea. Beth Ann’s own debut memoir\, Deep Water
 s: A Memoir of Loss\, Alaska Adventure\, and Love Rekindled\, recounts h
 er family’s extraordinary journey following her husband’s life-altering 
 stroke—and his unwavering insistence that restoring his health required 
 the family sailing across the treacherous Gulf of Alaska. Together\, Kar
 son and Beth Ann offer unforgettable real-life stories of women finding 
 inner strength while facing down the ocean’s raw power. This is an eveni
 ng you won't want to miss! About the Authors Karson Brown is an author\,
  multidisciplinary artist\, and photographer who grew up living aboard b
 oats in the Pacific Northwest. Raised in a family of artists\, writers\,
  and poets\, her work spans painting\, photography\, beach sculptures\, 
 and prose. By twenty-one\, she was working on a fishing vessel in the Be
 ring Sea\, and before thirty\, she survived the harrowing Atlantic cross
