Ben and Helen Harrison set aside their comfortable life in San Francisco to go to Costa Rica and build a 38-foot sailboat. They had never built a boat before. Then, they had to get it down to mountainside to the water. And from there sail to Key West where they now live. It was a dauntless task and a challenge that put their marriage, their sanity, and their very lives on the line. A real-life adventure that will make you feel like you’ve got a berth on La Dulce Mujer Pintada, the Sweet Painted Lady.

Ben Harrison is a distinctive voice with a wonderful sense of the ridiculous and a vivid storytelling ability. As an author, musician, and playwright, Ben has recorded nine albums of original music, written three musicals, and four books. Spending his early years in Corpus Christi, Texas, he graduated from SMU Law School in 1972, and moved to San Francisco with his wife Helen soon after. In 1974 they drove to Costa Rica and together built a 38-foot sailboat that they lived on for 11 years, which became the prototype for the Cabo Rico 38'. In 1979 they sailed into Key West, Florida, where he played music nightly on Duval Street for over 16 years. In 1986 he and Helen opened Harrison Gallery, which celebrated its 28th anniversary in 2014. They have two sons, Benjamin and Cole.
