Title
The Biggest Boat I Could Afford: Sailing Up the U.S. Coast in a Dinghy,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
What could make a man want to sail solo 2,500 miles up the east coast of the U.S. in a dinghy not much bigger than a kingsize bed? Fate led him to a 16' open Wayfarer dinghy, literally the biggest boat he could afford. Equipped with a 3.3 HP engine and a pair of sails, but lacking a cabin, galley, bunk, head, or electricity, she treated her new skipper to all the joys of a normal camping trip (rain, bugs, cold, solitude, baked beans) but with a vastly improved chance of drowning. This book tells Lee Hughes' story as he makes his way up the Intracoastal Waterway, learning the ways of the sea by trial and error. By journey's end, not only has he become a sailor, but he has also discovered what's important to him and conquered more than one fear.
