A collection of four short stories with a nautical theme. From the 'First Time Out' which is a primer/ starter for the beginner boater, to two others that take the reader from the stormy seas of the Atlantic 'Gulf Stream' to a storm rescue on Lake St. Clair in the Great Lakes. The final story 'A River Away' is a historical record of Lake St. Clair, Detroit River, and Windsor, Ontario and Canada. The book is 55 pages, 5"x7." A wonderful gift for amateur or seasoned boater. It is an addition to the 'Pirate's Guide to Lake St. Clair & Surrounding Waters' boaters guide book.
