An account of a one-year cruise, from Connecticut to Grenada and back, undertaken by an adventurous sailing couple. Their story is brimming with humour and high adventure and reflects a deep respect for and understanding of the history, people and economy of the many islands that they visit. Over the course of their voyage they come to realise the historical bond between North America and the Caribbean, particularly their intertwined colonical past and racial division. A romance, a comedy and a shared speech for personal meaning, "Seasoned by Salt" is an engaing and intelligent sailing story that finds parallels between individuals' relationships and nations and explores the crucial and continuing ties between the sea and history.
