Sailing The Big Flush

Write a Review215-717-7071

A Humorous Adventure. It's a crack up! This is the story of a pampered tea-sipper from sunny California who ends up as a plucky, menopausal first mate on a tiny wooden sailboat captained by her ever-capable, ever-competent, guitar-pounding husband, sailing the largest tides in the world! The Bay of Fundy! This is a very personal and uproarious account of Eileen and Doug's 30-day journey from Eastport, Maine to the Minas Basin. You'll likely find this fascinating, soul-searching and heartwarming adventure, with its crazy cast of characters, unlike any cruising story or travel memior you'll ever read. It's a bit like Erma Bombeck meets Herman Melville. "sailor or not, adventurer or armchair dreamer, this is one entertaining read". "One of the great small boat adventures of our time" "An epic voyage"
