You may dream of buying a boat in the tropics, but you’d do well to read this book before you do. Author and sailor Paul Franson has had some of the best times in his life on the varied islands of the West Indies, but he’s also had some experiences that he can be philosophical about only decades later.
The book also includes tales of other sailing adventures, a guide to sailing some popular islands, and a cookbook of Caribbean recipes.
Print version www.createspace.com/4938856 $9.99 Kindle version $4.99 from Amazon.com.
You can also contact Paul Franson to find out how to buy copies locally or pdf versions for use on computers and tablets. |
