Publisher's Synopsis

"It was the best of dreams, it was the worst of dreams, it was an age of consulting the nautical experts, it was the age of landlubber foolishness, it was the epoch of determination, it was the epoch of despair, it was the season of hurricanes, it was a spring of beachcombing…"

If you dream about chucking it all away and sailing toward an island life, read this first

Renee and Michael didn't have any boating experience and when their plans to remedy that fell through the two had to learn everything the hard way. Despite themselves they managed to get from Miami to Grenada, eventually dropping the anchor of their cruising catamaran at the island of their dreams. Determined to save future sailors from themselves, A Sail of Two Idiots includes lessons Renee and Michael learned and shares them with you as examples of what and what not to do. This a how-to guide wrapped in a funny story-kind of like getting your serving of vegetables from a slice of pizza. Read this and make your dream of sailing away a reality.

Includes:
  • "What Broke?" sections explores the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of a cruising multihull
  • "Island" section provide assessments of the islands of the Caribbean
