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

Rating:
Summary: A delightful read
Review: There are lots of technical boating books out there and they are easy to find. This book chronicles one couple's own adventure on the "Great Loop" in their first cruiser, a 40' (wow) trawler. I loved the writing style--great humor and sometimes romantic descriptions of the goings on (Mr.'s descriptions of Mrs., their married kids' near "marital conflagration" on deck, the story of the chocolates, cruising with the senior ladies. The descriptions of the travel are very well written. The experiences aboard will be appreciated by addicted boaters and non-boaters alike. This is an adventure story. When I finally retire and head for the Great Loop in my cruiser, I will think often and fondly of the Stob's and this delightful book.

Summary: A must read for Great Loop Cruisers.
Review: You must read this exciting tale of a couple cruising the eastern United States. This book is an interesting and humorous story about an adventuresome couple and THE trip of a lifetime. The book gives a day-to-day accounting of the 6,000+ mile trip and a lot of things to see and do. This book inspired my wife and I to do a large portion of this trip. We found this book an excellent guide for our cruise and would highly recommend the trip and the book to others. A GREAT READ!!!!!!
