Tightwads on the Loose: A Seven Year Pacific Odyssey,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Everyone dreams of tropical escape. But what happens when you escape for too long? Imagine spending 24 hours a day with your spouse in 31 notsosquare feet . . . for years; crossing the Pacific Ocean on two gallons of fuel; and tossing spaghetti marinara around your living room, then cleaning it up while bouncing like ice in a martini shaker. Tightwads on the Loose tells the story of Wendy and Garth, lured to sea by the promise of adventure. They buy a 31foot boat that fits their budget better than it fits Garth's large frame and set sail for an openended voyage, never imagining they'd be gone seven years, or cover 34,000 miles at the pace of a fast walk. They live without most necessities and learn that teamwork and a sense of humor matter most as they face endless 'characterbuilding opportunities.' They make a longanticipated visit to the island where Garth had been shipwrecked as a teenager, only to find it had become a penal colony. An electronic catastrophe in the Solomon Islands leaves them without navigation equipment, which forces them to trade their freewheeling lifestyle for one that seems straight out of a '60s sitcom: jobs at a U.S. Army base in the Marshall Islands. In Asia, they dodge typhoons and ships that threaten to turn their home into kindling. Finally they endure a grueling 49day nonstop ocean crossing. None of this prepares them for their arrival 'home' to a post9/11 America which leaves them wondering what had changed more, them or the world. Tightwads on the Loose offers a fun read to the armchair adventurer or anyone afflicted with wanderlust.
