Before I begin on any comments or discussion I should probably say a few things about my book, Lessons from Summer School. This book tells of the beginnings. It relates how and why Nancy and I found each other and came to love life on a boat, and how we bought a trawler that we named Summer School. And it tells of our first great adventure on Summer School, taking it down the ICW for the first time all the way to the Florida Keys and out to the Bahamas during a sabattical. It also tells of how and why we found new jobs and relocated to Easton, PA (from Pueblo, CO), and how we then brought Summer School north on the ICW, through Chesapeake Bay to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal where we planned to rent a permanent slip.
