Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book could have been set anywhere, but it takes place on the Hudson River, a half hour North of NYC. It is written by an editor by trade, and it shows. It is a well written book! It explores the writers chance notice of an ad for a beginners sailing class, and how that class reawakens a former love of sailing. Then it goes on to his adventures and misadventures as he continues to learn the art of sailing and then goes on to buy his own boat, a 22 foot tanzer, and join a local club. It has a lot of detail about this section of the Hudson River, but very little about other areas. The brigde in the background of the bookcover is the Tappan Zee. An enjoyable read, nothing earthshattering, a nice story of why sailing is so appealing to those of us with busy lives, a chance for some adventure!
