Official synopsis Publisher
A memoir of a marriage: facing life together, on a boat, in Alaska.
Their friends warned them. Colleagues offered alternatives. Her mother tried to talk her out of it. For twenty years, the couple had thrived floating between campuses, ships, and ports, but geography was about to become their destiny.
The happily married, middle-aged couple had only lived together a few months at a time over their twenty-year marriage. The captain of sea-going ships was about to take a shore-side job, 5,000 miles away from his wife, the professor. She would take a sabbatical leave and join him. They’d finally live together for a full year, in Alaska, on an old 331/2 foot boat.
Would their romance survive the experience? Would their marriage? And would the boat?
This memoir of Alaska travels, romance, wildlife, boat maintenance, conflict avoidance, and dreams of a dog provides a warm, humorous, easy read, ideal for a beach vacation or for your first cruise to Alaska.
