Book excerpt: What is it like to cut loose and sail away for a year? How do you really do it? Join them in their adventure! Taking their cat along as referee, Steve and Margaret Watterson spent a year on their 30-foot sailboat traveling from Cleveland, Ohio to the Florida Keys and back. In this book they describe their experience - the good times and the bad - in order to share it with those who dream of some day cutting off the phone, cancelling the paper, and locking the door behind them. If you have ever wondered how to actually do this, you will enjoy this book. The Wattersons tell how much they spent, how they handled mail, and what charts and cruising guides they used. They cover insurance, how to prepare a boat for this kind of trip, and much more.
