Not So Lucky Nora

One ordinary boat trip. One extraordinary storm. One true story that changed everything.

When Richard falls in love with an old boat, restoring her becomes more than a project-it becomes a dream. Together, we set out to bring her home across the rugged coast of Newfoundland, looking forward to a lifetime of adventures on the water.

Then Hurricane Leslie arrives.

Caught in one of the most terrifying nights of our lives, we battle towering seas, failing equipment, and impossible decisions as we fight to survive. What should have been an ordinary voyage becomes a night neither of us will ever forget.

Written with honesty, humility, and the quiet resilience of life on Newfoundland's coast, Not So Lucky Nora is more than a story about surviving a hurricane. It's a story about marriage, determination, and discovering what truly matters when everything else is stripped away.

This unforgettable true story is for readers who enjoy real-life adventures, maritime memoirs, and stories of ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances.

Sometimes the greatest storms don't just change the weather-they change our lives forever.
