Summary
Details

This is the story of one man's solo voyage from Homer, Alaska to the US-Mexico border, a distance of some 3,000 nautical miles, aboard a 31-foot, outboard powered boat appropriately named Rascal. It follows his four previous solo voyages aboard the same boat that taken together totaled more than 15,000 nautical miles.

The book conveys to the reader what the author calls the secret thrill of happening upon new places and the special challenges of doing so alone in a small boat. If you like reading of adventures undertaken for their sheer joy, just for the fun of it, this is the book for you.

ESCAPADE: n. A lark, a caper, a fling, a FAST BOAT NEKKID event. Okay, maybe that definition ain't in the Webster's, but it ought to be. The author reminds us that the superficial seriousness of daily life leaves us sadly empty of what may be the rarest sensation on earth: FUN! This book, and the voyage it recounts, is all about having FUN! Reading it will put a hitch in your step and a kiss-my-butt attitude on your face. Welcome to frivolity!
