5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and interesting journey..., May 27, 2009

By	AA (VA) - See all my reviews

A clever travelogue from a guy who decides to move onto his boat for a year and head down the ICW. Not quite a hero's tale, but there are hints of Ulysses as the Captain encounters broken rudders, lost anchors, and occasionally runs aground. This unabridged version includes original comments on the authors blog from friends, other sailors, and the long suffering girlfriend. An enjoyable read, not just for sailors, but for anyone who thinks about hitting the road (or the river) for an extended period.
