Aprašymas

373 Days Afloat (and counting) is the true story of an ordinary couple dissatisfied with the daily 9 to 5 routine who sold their house, bought a sailing yacht and took to a life at sea for fun and adventure initially off the west coast of Scotland. This book is based upon the journal that they kept and begins with an account of the events that forged their desire to do something different and ends at the conclusion of their first complete cruising season. Sometimes tragic and occasionally amusing, this quirky tale is punctuated by comments, observations, literary quotations and a few of the author's poems, which he describes as ditties and doggerel. Like the author, this book is hard to pin down and pigeon hole, for it is part travel writing, part poetry, part confessional and part philosophy; but the one thing it certainly is, is different!
