Tales of Lyla

A love affair with wind and water, with maps, the salt air, and the scent of the sea. This is a sea story, not a how-to book. it is a fast moving, moving, close-up narrative about cruising and living on a sailboat exploring most of the east coast, Florida and the Bahamas. What is it really like to live this life? What is it like on a day when the wind is fair and the sea is a deep blue with pure-white whitecaps-or when a night overtakes you that's "not a fit night for man or beast?" If you love maps, or nautical charts, and wonder what those bays, rivers, islands and inlets each are like; if you wonder what experience is required, what sort of boat with what abilities is the kind you might need, or you just like to read how one couple prepared for this sort of adventuring and made it all work, you will find it all here in this book. The book is full of the way the author did things-to stay out of trouble or to make life easier.
