Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A great read. Two people choose to forsake the mountains of Montana and sail around the Caribbean. Great humor and insight into the two different mindsets of sailing. Tom the authors husband has the wild fearless viking outlook while Rae Ellen takes a more sober (when are we going to die?) outlook on the adventure. Her humor is great -the characters they meet along the way are colorful - even the plastic lizard mascot the author adopts adds humor. Though they never make it any further than the San Juan Islands area, the adventures and training for the paradise trip will amaze you. From hair raising docking experiences to holiday meals onboard - the book will entertain you from first to last page.

While living in landlocked Montana and renovating an old mining town brothel, Rae Ellen Lee and her husband started writing a novel. On a research trip to the Virgin Islands, they fell in love with the sand and the sun, and upon their return to Montana they sold their house and relocated to Washington. There they bought a 37-foot Alberg-designed bluewater cruiser that they dubbed THE SHOE because living in its damp, cramped quarters reminded them of Mother Hubbard. Now the particular shoe we live in is like a very large sneaker, but one not nearly large enough, and it smells like mold in some corners, and like a poodle lifted its leg in others. With a marvelous sense of humor, Lee recounts the many ups and downs of her life aboard, including a circumnavigation of the San Juan islands, a voyage to the Caribbean, and a cold snap during which she and her husband narrowly avert a disasterous end to their relationship.
