View of a very different America

An interesting view into the cruising experience of the early 1900s. The boats and the people who sail them, show the robust self-sufficiency rarely apparent today. Also the people they meet along the way are warm, and go out of their way to be generous and helpful.

From shooting waterfowl to feed their cat, to almost completely rebuilding their boat while underway, this book opens up a boating experience few could even imagine today. So take a little time to immerse yourself in a unique voyage in a very different America.
