The follow up to "Narrow Dog To Carcassone", which sold 100,000 copies in paperback, this follows 2 pensioners and a whippet as they sail their English narrowboat down America's 1000 mile long intracoastal waterway. From Virginia to the Gulf of Mexico, the voyage of the "Phyllis May" included 30 mile sea crossings, waves, storms, fog, tornadoes, hurricanes, alligators, bugs and killer spiders. For fans of Bill Bryson and Tony Hawkes.
