From the author:
Each chapter covers a specific activity like river rafting, white water kayaking, sea kayaking, dinghy sailing, cruising, tourist boating (including whale watching, bird watching and dining on the water) or crewing. The research occupied many, many weeks as I participated in almost all of the activities I wrote about. The most challenging was learning the basics of white water kayaking. Many organizations subsidized my boating experiences, but never for a positive write-up, just an acknowledgement and thank you. Each chapter begins with a fictional description of someone rafting, rowing or whatever, then goes on to talk about classes, opportunities to participate, and sometimes ways to volunteer and get out on the water. What I hadn't anticipated was becoming enamored of crewing, both 8-person and two-person shells. I did almost all the photo-illustrations except the cover.
