Christened The Omega Mystic, she is a beautiful sailboat setting off into the ocean waters off Taiwan in 1979. From his experience on the boat, Parker Stone has many memories from his days at sea, based so much on his personal interactions with the fifty-one-foot-long, fifteen-foot-deep, and fifteen-foot-wide ocean-going beauty.

Parker’s story tells of the characters who come into contact with The Omega Mystic over decades and their different life-changing stories. Those lives are profoundly affected as the sailboat maneuvered through both time and space, between the past and present, across vast oceans and the places in between, before finally coming to rest in the now.

Between ocean pirates’ savagery, a United States Naval rescue, and the appearance of a Panamanian president, the adventures herein are diverse. Eventually the mystery of The Omega Mystic and her special influence on those who’ve loved and respected her is revealed. Her story skips through time and space, never linear, just like the uneven, rolling movements of the sea.
