"If you've ever wanted to cruise the Bahamas by boat or just in your mind, SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS offers a humorous ride.”
—Wendy Hinman, author of TIGHTWADS ON THE LOOSE
"SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS made me feel the tropical sun on the back of my neck, with the added bonus of a treasure-trove of local information!"
—Glenn Damato author of BREAKING SEAS
"SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS documents the journey of a non-boat owner through the purchase of his first sailboat, on to Florida and eventually through the Bahamas. It is a detailed, and starkly honest account of a cruising couple with a child and dog, and what they overcame to fulfill their dream. The author kept meticulous records that will benefit anyone considering the same adventure."
—Ed Robinson, author of LEAP OF FAITH: QUIT YOUR JOB AND LIVE ON A BOAT
“SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS was a pleasant surprise. The insights into why people like us ‘go out there’ in boats is brought into crystal clarity in a way that is both entertaining and informative. The humor with which he tells this tale makes the pages fly by.”
—Bob Bitchin, publisher of CRUISING OUTPOST MAGAZINE

He is an associate professor of finance at the University of Louisiana. He has been published in Good Old Boat, Cruising Outpost, and Southwinds magazines. He is married with one child, Sophie above. Slow Boat to the Bahamas and How to Sail Around the World Part-Time have been number 1 bestsellers the Kindle sailing categories.

Although there's a lot of money involved in this trip as well as the expense of leaving your life behind for 6 months, The author and his family gained is something that is unquantifiable, although the author with his background does an extraordinary job of detailing those things that were quantifiable.
Also for those of us who have planned and wanted to go, we are entered into a world so that the reader knows what they are going to potentially get experience first hand through his eyes. When you go to the Bahamas and other islands in the area, you now will have a feel for getting into their world, which is priceless.
He goes into detail about his difficulty in docking, but I am lost. A diagram might be nice.
The author travels from marina to marina and does not say much about the sailing there. Why not? That part was quite frustrating.
I just did not get the point......
