Description

This is the story of a couple’s travels on a forty-foot trawler cruising 6300 miles and 145 locks around the eastern a part of North The us referred to as The us’s Great Loop or the Great Circle Cruise. Their nautical ineptitude is evident from the beginning, but pulling from their personal and collective strengths, the authors overcome doubt, a lack of experience, and real and imagined horrors. The odyssey is told the way life hands out its adventures — every so often humorously, every so often tragically, but all the time memorably. The writing is light and appealing, but there’s a serious strain running through the book for individuals who relish history and descriptions of the landscape. Astute and attentive to detail, they chronicled events and kept an account of expenses, equipment and charting. Because of this, the appendix/guidebook is worth the cost of the book for anyone interested in planning their cruise. Topics include necessary charts and guidebooks, information on locks, setting an itinerary, resource addresses and websites, details on equipment and the best place to be educated about boating. The book has full-color inserts with black and white photographs interspersed all the way through.
