Hey Tom,

The Compleat Cruiser: The Art, Practice, and Enjoyment of Boating

Famed yacht designer and author L. Francis Herreshoff takes us on family style cruises in American waters, during which all sorts of boats and boating skills are explained while they are used. He tells about the adventures of the crews of the catboat Piscator, the ketch Viator, and the engineless whaleboat-style ketch Rozinante. There are anecdotes and examples and a wide variety of boat lore in each chapter, as well as adventures, races and coastwide cruises and historical harbors to visit.

OK, perhaps not... (grin)

Still, you've gotta love the way that Honda 2000 stows so neatly on that stern perch seat... Hell, I'm surprised he doesn't have a matching pair...

Beautiful photos as always, Tom...

best regards,

Jon
