My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What did I like about this book?
For the most part, this was both an easy, sometimes funny, and an overall interesting read. I was hooked in from page one and Alexander and Dale's effortless and often relaxed dialogue skipped along in a way that not only set the plot in motion and moved the story along in a very balanced way. Not too fast, certainly not too slow.

I liked Alexander and Dale as well. Their experiences in this memoir were ones that many can identify with. Particularly with the people they meet (some helpful, some not so much) both at home and also along their travels.

What I didn't like about this book?
I don't that there was anything that I didn't enjoy about this book. In all honestly, it was a little hard to follow along with some of the boating-based languages as I'm not a boater. However, that was nothing the glossary in the back couldn't help with. So, thanks for that, Mr. Watson!

Overall thoughts & Rating?
I haven't read very much travel or boat-based non-fiction, but this personal and emotional work is one that has made me want to expand my reading repertoire. And I think it will do the same for you so I would absolutely recommend this work, especially those of you who enjoy stories of travel or boating.
