Great book. For the owners of trawler yachts or cruising powerboats in general, Ken and Roberta Williams take you along on their preparations (Nordhavn 68) and tropical voyage, asking and answering all the questions you wish you'd thought of yourself. This book (his second) is a savvy compliation of emails and blog messages, punctuated with color photos onboard and ashore, illustrations and screen images of plotters and radar underway. The book starts with the FUBAR powerboat rally from San Diego to La Paz, Mexico, and winds up in Golfito, Costa Rica. As problems pop up, they get worked out and solved. Lots of interesting and funny anecdotes, too.
