What is "Honey, Let's Get a Boat...": A Cruising Adventure of America's Great Loop about?

This is the story of one couple's escape on a forty-foot trawler cruising 6300 miles and 147 locks around the eastern part of North America known as America's Great Loop. Their nautical ineptitude is evident from the beginning, but pulling from their personal and collective strengths, the authors overcome doubt, a lack of experience, and real and imagined horrors. The odyssey is told the way life hands out its portions -- sometimes humorously, sometimes tragically, but always memorably. The writing is light and appealing, but there is a serious strain running through the book for those who relish history and graphic descriptions of the landscape. Astute and attentive to detail, they chronicled every event and kept an accounting of expenses, equipment and charting. As a result, the appendix is worth the price of the book for anyone interested in learning what charts are needed, information on locks and their fees, details on equipment and the best place to be educated about boating. Both the authors are excellent photographers and the book is eye-catching with color inserts and black and white photographs throughout.
