"From Virginia to Florida in an English canal boat.
Join the authors of "one of the most hilarious travel memoirs ever
written"* on a wild odyssey aboard one of the most unlikely craft
ever to sail U.S. waters.
"No one had ever sailed an English narrowboat in the U.S.
before--for reasons that become clear when Terry Darlington, his
wife, Monica, and their well-traveled dog, a whippet named Jim,
begin a nine-month voyage down the 1,150-mile Intracoastal
Waterway. But no sooner do they set out in the seven-foot-wide
"Phyllis May" than they encounter an ice storm in Virginia and
piranhas in North Carolina. The Georgia coast is a madman's jigsaw
and in Florida the alligators wait patiently for Jim. But as they
wend their way through golden marshes, incomparable cities, and
lost arcadias, the intrepid trio aboard the beautiful painted boat
reveals a South few of us have ever seen. And with frequent stops
to dine on sweet tea, grits, and the freshest of the day's catch,
they make plenty of strange companions along the way--from
wayfarers stopping to give Jim a good scratch behind the ears to
ex-CIA agents and the Good Ole Boys of the Deep South--and discover
that everyone has a story they're only too willing to share.
Beautifully written, lovingly observed and very funny, Narrow Dog
to Indian River takes you on a dangerous, surprising, and always
entertaining journey through the wonderland of the South.
