Product Description
This book is the true story of one man''s attempt to live out his lifelong dream of sailing around the world to strange foreign ports in his own sailboat. Upon retiring from teaching school and farming in Michigan, Harold Knoll, Jr. left his forthcoming sedentary life, took his sailboat down to the Gulf, and headed around the world. Few men have the courage to do this, even though most of us have these dreams.This Volume I covers the first part of his journey from Lake Michigan down the rivers to the Gulf; across to Florida; and then across to the Bahamas; down to the Dominican Republic; across to Puerto Rico; across the U.S. and British Virgin Islands; and through the West Indies to Trinidad. Future volumes will continue his trip around the world.Captain Knoll, a true free spirit, picks up crew as he travels along. In the process, he meets many very fascinating people and has many thrilling, and sometimes humorous, experiences. Forthcoming volumes will cover the eight years that he has spent going to Spain and Europe; the North Sea and Scandinavia; England, Scotland and the Irish Sea; the French Canal System; the Mediterranean Sea; and the Aegean Sea as he proceeds around the world the "wrong way" (against the prevailing easterly winds).
