Get Started On Quest And Crew Assembled By David Beaupre Presented As Paper Edition
book about sailing. It's part informational part travel guide, I enjoy reading about the couple's adventures and in particular their choices on where to go and how to get there, Apparently, they gave this lifestyle a lot of thought and put a lot of time and money into their boat, This book talks about anchoring and how and where to do it, This was quite interesting for me, I thought you just pulled up and docked at a buoy, I didn't realize there was a whole method to this, That's one of the things I liked about this book, It wasn't just a boring account of what they did, Instead, it describes the way things are done at every port, which is quite interesting, It also talks about passport stamps and the need or not for them to get stamped, I'm going on to read the whole series of books, I find the stories funny, realistic, suspenseful at times, and just so enjoyable, This should have been an interesting book, especially I since live in north Florida and was aware of the areas he wrote about, I have seen,page books whether nonfiction or fiction more interesting than thispage book, It was like reading a journal with minimal amount of life, Like sailing this author needs to learn to tell a story not a date repetition of his journal that went on, There could have been some interesting characters, they seem to have been lost in time space water Read if you are minimally interested in sailing otherwise, there are far more interesting books out there.
Ramblings of Newbe Sailing Couple
This an interesting tale of a couple that pursued their sailing dream on a bare bones budget and made it work.
Never left home
I enjoyed sailing the the Bahamas without leaving home, Well written descriptions of events without too much personal drama, Thoroughly enjoyed it. How many people have dreamed about sailing away and leaving it all behind Heres how it happened, Quest and Crew is the first book of a four book series, It begins twentyfour hours before a Categoryhurricane devastates the south shore of Grenada, Its a story about the many twists and turns that life can take, The sailboat Quest begins her new life with
a full retrofit in North Carolina, followed by Quests launch in North Florida two years later, The job of becoming real sailors begins in North Palm Beach, On a clear starry night, we left South Florida on a hope enveloped by a dream, Finding ourselves only at the beginning of a new adventure, we set sail and anchored one island at a time through the Bahamas, The Caribbean is a few books away, Here is a glimpse into the powerful attraction of sailboats and sapphire water, Quest and Crew is all about the joy of success as well as what it takes to overcome the occasional disaster, From beginning to end, the book is about transforming a rookie crew and beautiful old boat into a sailing adventure, Come for the hurricane, stay for the story, Everything you never wanted to know about refitting a sail boat, Kept waiting for some sense of a meaningful story but decided to abandon ship, Of course this is one of my favorite books, My husband is the author and I am half the crew, But the book has everything I want when I'm looking for a good read, A truelife adventure is always better than fiction especially when written by someone who cares very much about 'the word', Overcoming challenges to seek your dream, exploring new places and cultures, learning new skills isn't that what life is about We have read many nautical adventures and memoirs and I challenge you to find one better.
I think this book will appeal to boaters, dreamers, adventurers, and armchair sailors young and old, from Canada to Florida and beyond, sitelink post a comment.
