Sailing across North America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798581900277)

From the Pacific Northwest to the Carolina Coast, enjoy a couple's sailing odyssey across North America. Chapter I chronicles the ill-fated adventures and misadventures of attempting to transport their Nor'Sea 27 from Anacortes, Washington to their home port in Wisconsin. Shortly thereafter, Chapter II tells of their decision to relocate from the Midwest to Eastern North Carolina by way of the waterways . . . not the highways. So grab your virtual rain gear, find a comfy chair, and join the captain and his mate aboard Chinook on an exciting and continuous six month voyage from the shores of Lake Michigan to the Carolina Coast. Help them pilot through Grey's Reef, enjoy Mackinac Island and Les Cheneaux Islands, and cruise the fabled North Channel. After carefully navigating the tortuous Inside Passage of Georgian Bay, turn into a river rat as the mast comes down and Chinook transits over 100 locks on the waterways and rivers of Canada (Trent, Severn, Rideau, Ottawa, St. Lawrence, and Richelieu). It is back to the United States via Lake Champlain. A sailboat again, following along the ICW to North Carolina. Each day is a new anchorage, a new adventure, and especially new and interesting friends. You don't have be a boater to enjoy a fun, exciting, and well-written adventure from the comfort of your home.
