Sailors Tacking from Murder

A down to earth, wealthy and industrious young woman, who was quite fond and compassionate for her elderly uncle, became mired in down in his Murder.
This uncle is the source of her original wealth and was to name her in his will. She was not only a suspect; she became the subject of mortal danger from others who conspired to receive her part of his estate.
Her Uncle Stan always tried to push her and other close relatives into accomplishing great things. In his elder and sickly years Jill continued catering to her uncle by visiting him and frequently reading adventures of sailing the Caribbean to him and pretending they were the participants.
On his death he continued challenging her and others, in his will, and in this case to become sailors, as in their lounge chair adventures. To receive an additional portion of the inheritance she and others were challenged to learn to sail and single hand a sizable sailboat from North Florida to Key West but sabotage was on the menu.
