Postcards From Sea
Description
Postcards From Sea is the story of life aboard my 1967 sailboat, Ave Del Mar. There are tales from the time I found her in sad, sun-bleached shape in a boatyard in Virginia, to trips from Annapolis down the Intracoastal Waterway and into the Caribbean. We have met sailboat royalty and we have met rock bottom.The story of Ave and me is really a story of cultures and of people. It is life from aboard an old boat. And it simply doesn't get any better than this.
