Product Description
Paul and Emily Keller met late in life on the ski slopes in the Pacific Northwest. Both in their senior years, they married, sharing a love for new challenges and reaching for the next horizon. Their story continues in their second book as they set sail on an adventure circumnavigating the Eastern United States. Sailing the Inland Seas chronicles the further adventures of these two "sunset sailors" capturing the vivid tales of Paul and Emily. On their motor sailor, Elizabeth M, they sailed from Florida to the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, to the Gulf of Mexico through the Erie Canal, Great Lakes, Chicago and many great river systems including the Tennessee and Tombigbee. A launching from Cape Canaveral, a personal encounter with a gentle manatee, Hurricane Hugo, a 4th of July celebration with rocket scientists and colorful encounters with tugboat captains are all described in a lighthearted spirit in the pages of Sailing the Inland Seas. As they sailed, Paul wrote and Emily sketched...and they both loved the stimulating challenges of living in small quarters, storms, equipment malfunctions, and the joys of people, breathtaking scenery and...the next horizon. Travel with Paul and Emily...share their experiences...meet the people they encountered...and learned what they discovered for themselves. You're never too old to take up new challenges!

Old coot babbles on about his sailing vacations - skip it

I kept waiting for something to redeem this book, but it never happened. Keller smugly drones on about going from one place to another and meeting up with his other self-satisfied "silver-fox" buddies who are also into spending their retirement on luxury yachts. The book is filled with inane and pointless details of he and his current wife's "adventures" (was it really necessary for us to know the menu of practically every meal they had?). More than anything, it bears resemblance to the cliche experience of being stuck for an evening at one of your relatives' slide shows of their latest vacation. Save your money on this one.
