THIS IS THE DIARY of a British sailboat's passage up the US
Intracoastal Waterway, observing America's lifestyle, history and
cultural paradoxes and written with gusto and empathy. It's a
well-crafted book steeped in the euphoria of travel and ending with
some sober thoughts on the demonic 9/11 attack on New York City. A
fascinating insight into early North American history set against
the backdrop of a boating adventure along the eastern seaboard from
Florida to New York. MOST PEOPLE EXPLORE North America from
coast-to-coast. Others journey up the eastern seaboard's
Intracoastal Waterway -- with its tricky ocean inlets, shallow
estuaries, violent climate - and have a very different perspective.
This is the fractured landfall along which intrepid sixteenth and
seventeenth century colonists from England first set foot in the
New World after crossing the Atlantic. In some places the coast is
still a raw, impenetrable wilderness; in others, the orderly
symmetry of restless humanity encroaches. A delightful and
informative read...
