It was a 10 month process to create the book. The book is different from the blog. It is written in first person from Christi’s perspective. It has new information, including things we did not want to mention on the blog. Learn about the challenges, rewards, and the surprises that come with both traveling and boating. It is a fun an easy read that both boaters and non-boaters will enjoy.

We want to thank everyone for their support in creating the book.

Book Update: Editor Finished

Today, at 1715, the editor sent over the completed book. She has requested we make some changes in a few places to help clarify some things. We are hoping to get all the changes made this weekend and send it off to the printer on Monday. We’ll keep you posted.

Update – All Progressing Smoothly for February Book Release

We’re sorry we’ve been slacking about posting on the blog lately. Eric is busy with work and Christi is consumed with the book. Things are progressing smoothly with the new editor, but we have discovered that editing is a more time consuming process than we had realized. The book is still on track for this month, and once it is done, we’ll try to get the blog caught up to real time.

We also wanted to remind everyone that we are speaking at Trawlerfest on March 7th from 1430 – 1530. And, we have a very fun stunt planned for the Springtime, so stay tuned for it.
