"There's magic in water that draws all men away from the land, that leads them over the hills, down creeks and streams and rivers to the sea." Herman Melville Something like that happened to me a long time ago and I have no idea why; I borrowed my first rowboat when I was six or seven and took an old dog for an adventure across the harbor, and have been slipping away places ever since. And actually, I wouldn't change it for anything. I've written a book about our experiences in those hectic early years and I've shown myself no mercy. If you're considering the cruising lifestyle it will be very helpful, and if you're already out there - I promise you a good read with some serious laughs Duncan
