A cartooney and photographically illustrated book of anecdotes gathered following years of boat deliveries Up and Down the ICW [Intracoastal Waterway], sheltered behind America's Atlantic coast.

No journey can escape that stowaway Murphy whose law 'Anthing that Can go wrong WILL go wrong', doubly applies to all things that float.

There's also also a bonusĀ  story: 'Blue Baron - Green Sailor' recording an eyewitness report of a 10-day slog from Palm Beach to New York, through a nor'easter. Hove to off Cape Fear a Russian spy trawler stopped by to have a look. The story is captured by a naive small boat novice whose years aboard Royal Navy ships, had not prepared him to crew with a boat skippered by the luckiest man alive.

Enjoy - but knock on wood before you step aboard and set off for the wild blue yonder.
