Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1950 the author started a small business to make yachting cushions with the anticipation that he would be able to spend a lot of time around boats. As the business faltered, he made a pledge not to go sailing until financially independent. The business evolved into other textile products, became successful, and after eighteen years he felt comfortable in buying his first boat and going sailing.This is the story of how through thirty plus years he worked his way up from a 22 foot Ensign to a 56 foot Erwin with many boats in between. In the process he made many trips from New England to the Caribbean and became a serious ocean racer participating in several Bermuda Races, SORCs, and a Trans Atlantic Race to Spain followed by nine months in the Mediterranean cruising with his family.Anyone who has a love of the sea and boats and sailing will enjoy riding along on this seemingly never-ending adventure. There are enough sea stories here to keep any sailor, armchair or windblown, happy for a long, long time.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It all began one a hot, August, Sunday afternoon in 1949 at a dock in New York City's nearby yachting center, City Island. My father had just arrived from Florida on his elderly but classic Elco motor yacht and I had come out from the city on the subway to meet him. As we sat on the kapok upholstered chairs of his back deck, looking out over the sweltering harbor and talking about the pleasures of boating, it was impossible not to notice the unfortunate odor of mildew that seemed to swell up each time someone moved in their seat. This led to the platitude that one could always tell by the smell, those boats that had spent the winter in Florida. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Early in World War II German submarines practically destroyed the United States' maritime shipping including its supply line to the Panama Canal. The Unites States immediately embarked on a massive road building project to cut a highway through the mountains and jungles of Mexico and Central America to supply Panama. This road was euphemistically called the Pan American Highway.When the war ended Congress froze the funding and all construction stopped leaving five partially completed segments of road with sizable gaps of jungle in between.Immediately following their discharge from the armed forces in 1946, Charles Teetor and Robert Conrads embarked on an expedition to determine how much of the road had been completed and whether it was possible for a wheeled vehicle to drive from the United States to Panama. This is their story of driving the first vehicle to go by land from the United States to Costa Rica and why they were unable to complete the trip. This item is printed on demand.
