Blue Walkabout

For most of us, caught up in the busy, constantly connected web of modern life, the navigable coastal and inland waterways are a close, but unknown world...windshield background, briefly glimpsed but unseen. Blue Walkabout, A Time on the Waters is an invitation to visit that world and to learn a little about its geography, history and culture. Take a break, slow down, let the voicemail answer the phone and experience the waterways. Join the author and his cruising companion Betty as they transition from sailboats and ocean sailing to power boats, renovate an aging Down East boat and then travel the coastal waters of the eastern seaboard from mid-coast Maine to the Florida Keys, wander through the canals and navigable rivers of New York, Ontario and Quebec and spend time on the clear, clean waters of The Bahamas.
