Boating with Moe

About the Book

Boating With Moe is a light hearted, humorous story of a seven-year-old girl's trip with her grandfather and uncle during summer vacation.

Taking place in the Gulf Islands and on the Sunshine Coast, the reader, both boater and non boater alike, will enjoy their journey to actual coastal locations as seen through the eyes of the three-generational crew as they cruise aboard a 46-foot powerboat.
