The Raven & I

About the Book

The Raven was a curmudgeonly boat - fast, powerful and quite unmanageable. The author learns about her ornery ways on a maiden voyage, but becomes besotted and buys her anyway, then embarks upon a series of hilarious adventures sure to resonate with boat owners everywhere. From Georgian Bay in Ontario to Lake Champlain in Vermont, a parade of eccentric characters board the Raven and get caught up in the trail of havoc and destruction left in her wake. If you ever owned a classic wooden boat, or even just fantasized about owning one, then step aboard and smile, for this time someone else is at the helm.
