The Sailboat
Author: Christopher R. German
Publisher: Christopher R German
ISBN: 0578972328
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Phillip Winters is a computer guy with a dream to set sail. His lawyer wife Lucy only half shares his vision but begrudgingly follows Phillip to their first sailing class in the sailing capital of America, Annapolis, MD. She excels, while he falls behind. Setting out to find the perfect boat, whether his wife approves or not, Phillip finds a storm-ravaged boat and gets in over his head, much to his wife's disapproval. They move to Beaufort, NC, and fix up the derelict vessel without having the first clue of how to fix a boat or even how to sail for that matter. They quickly realize that it is a task they are ill-equipped to handle, and one which they lack the experience or know-how to tackle. Thankfully, like so many who have gone before them, they have the financial means to push forward, even if they should run away. A brief stay in a town that resembles a third-world banana republic and a run-in with what all Southerners affectionately call “water bugs”, they manage to launch their dream boat and set sail after a rum-soaked christening in Oriental, the sailing capital of North Carolina. Bumping down the coast to Florida, hopping from port to port, the couple experiences the highs and lows of the live-aboard lifestyle, including surprise expenses, sweaty nights on the high seas, and morally questionable port adventures with fellow boat owners. The Sailboat is a cautionary tale about boat ownership and relationships and demonstrates to those who are dreaming of ditching their COVID cocoon by heading out on the high seas that the live-aboard life is rarely smooth sailing.

Chasing Dreams in a Sailboat
Author: Joyce Di Lorenzo

ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Chasing Dreams in a Sailboat is an anthology of stories about the interesting people we met in foreign sailing destinations; vibrant people with different perspectives, backgrounds, and life experiences, who have shaped us into more open-minded individuals. This is a collection of memoirs about the cultural experiences we have encountered in our beloved British Virgin Islands, the shockingly beautiful French Polynesian Society Islands, the ancient villages along the ink-blue Tyrrhenian Sea’s most dazzling stretch of the Italian coastline known as the Amalfi Coast, and the magnificent Dalaman sailing region in southern Turkey, appropriately nicknamed the ‘Turkish Riviera.’ In each destination, we mingled with the locals and embraced unexpected opportunities so that for a passing moment in time, we could become a part of the diverse civilization we visited.

Ice Cream Review
Sailboat Cruising Can Be a Breeze
Author: Frederick B. Cooley
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504971604
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
As volume I emphatically stated, cruising is an abundant and affordable lifestyle and can be done in short-time segments, whether summers, vacations, whatever. There are delightful people to meet; wonderful, welcoming ports in which to stay; and astonishing beauty not available to the nonboaters. The companion, volume I, is available at AuthorHouse and other booksellers but includes a great deal tangential to the actual cruise, like how we got into sailing. Volumes II to IV miss only the Long Island–Hudson River portion. Everything from the trip, starting in Lake Champlain and going south to the Erie Canal, then west and north to Lake Ontario, for reasons spelled out, then getting to the St. Lawrence is included in this second book, and it doesn’t end until the trip is completed, with a startling ending and what we did next, after going as far north as Newfoundland. There are over two hundred color photos, most taken from the deck by the author/helmsman.
