KELOWNA, BC, CANADA & UNITED STATES - In an era where many only dream of escape and reinvention, author Arlene Galisky has done what few have dared-and lived to tell the story in a powerful new three-book memoir series, Dreamers and Doers. Published by Scriptor House LLC, the trilogy chronicles Galisky's extraordinary sixteen-year journey living aboard a sailboat and navigating thousands of miles across the vast and unpredictable waters of the Pacific Ocean to Australia and Southeast Asia.

Remarkably, Galisky and her partner David Ball began planning their journey later in life-he was 55 and she was 48-and neither had ever sailed before. With no prior experience and no maritime background, they stepped into a completely unknown world, driven only by determination, courage, and the belief that it was never too late to reinvent their lives.

At once deeply personal and universally inspiring, Dreamers and Doers is more than a memoir-it is a testament to courage, resilience, and the life-changing power of choosing the unknown over the familiar.

Drawing directly from her personal journals and official boat logs, Galisky delivers a rare, unfiltered account of what it truly means to leave everything behind in pursuit of a dream. Her writing brings readers face-to-face with towering ocean swells, remote island cultures, moments of isolation, and profound self-discovery. Through triumphs, challenges, and transformative encounters, Galisky reveals the emotional and physical realities of life at sea-and the remarkable personal growth that emerges from it.

The trilogy includes:

Crossing the Pacific: Dreamers and Doers Part One - A gripping beginning that captures the bold leap from conventional life into the vast unknown, as Galisky and her partner embark on their transpacific crossing in pursuit of freedom and purpose.

Beneath the Southern Cross: Dreamers and Doers Part Two - As their journey continues, readers are immersed in the beauty and history of the ancient land that is Australia, where they spend over 100 nights sleeping on the ground as they drive 28,000 kilometers around the coastline and through the outback. Another voyage then takes them back across the South Pacific, where survival, adaptation, and resilience become daily realities.

Exploring Far Away Places: Dreamers and Doers Part Three - A powerful conclusion reflecting on the lessons, growth, and lasting transformation forged by sixteen years of exploration, ultimately revealing how the journey reshaped their understanding of life, purpose, and possibility.

Galisky's storytelling stands apart for its authenticity, emotional depth, and cinematic detail. Her experiences illuminate not only the external adventure of crossing oceans, but the internal journey of confronting fear, embracing uncertainty, and redefining one's identity.

In a time when readers increasingly seek stories of meaning, courage, and transformation, Dreamers and Doers resonates as both an unforgettable adventure and a profound reminder that extraordinary lives begin with a single brave decision.

The Dreamers and Doers trilogy is now available worldwide through major booksellers, including Amazon, in both print and digital formats:

Crossing the Pacific: Dreamers and Doer Part One
Beneath the Southern Cross: Dreamer and Doers Part Two
Exploring Far Away Places: Dreamers and Doers Part Three
