Wasn’t JWs last boat a converted minesweeper? As was Jacques Cousteou’s.

I just meant BIG "retired" govt boat type o' thang... For JW!

Boat books, fiction

Art, that "old" librarian was probably 40.
I'm with McGillicuddy on still reading fiction. I mostly gave it up in my 30's and 40's for purposeful non-fiction reads.
For me, non-fiction is about understanding things that might matter in the future. Friction is about enjoying myself right now, in the present...

Anyone have a favorite boating book of the fictional type? I found no thread on this topic in the Forum, so I'll start a new one and see if the collective experience can recommend some good reads.

Farley Mowat's "The boat that wouldn't float".

Warranty may be up.

Every so often, a fine vessel like Caroline catches my romantic fancy and I find myself wondering how it must have looked once upon a time. At least as much detail as I can see on PhotoShop, it must have been something like this.

Dang Larry,
Did you finish Bucky and your on to your next project?
What's your Admiral gonna say when she wakes up and sees Caroline C on your dock?
You have confirmed it would be a beautiful boat.

Finished! Bucky!? The Admiral says Bucky will be my final and ONLY project. But I still like dreaming.
