Over two northeastern summers, Gillian Outerbridge, Tucker, and their 20-foot vessel Dart explored and adventured together. Up and down rivers, waterways, and canals, through locks and marine railways, the trio traveled. Thus the tale was spun, and these pages tell the story. Join these travelers as they navigate thousands of miles of waterways, experience new places, and make many new friends. Discover with them both the serenity and challenges of a new way of life. You'll experience through Gill's words how compelling it is to move leisurely through the water and take in all the inspiring colors and sounds of new places. And you'll share in her excitement as she meets and conquers new challenges along the way.
