Synopsis

SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS is a funny look at getting the sailing bug, preparing for, and going on the big trip with a four year old and a four pound dog."If you've ever wanted to cruise the Bahamas by boat or just in your mind, SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS offers a humorous ride.”—Wendy Hinman, author of TIGHTWADS ON THE LOOSE"SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS made me feel the tropical sun on the back of my neck, with the added bonus of a treasure-trove of local information!"—Glenn Damato author of BREAKING SEAS"SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS documents the journey of a non-boat owner through the purchase of his first sailboat, on to Florida and eventually through the Bahamas. It is a detailed, and starkly honest account of a cruising couple with a child and dog, and what they overcame to fulfill their dream. The author kept meticulous records that will benefit anyone considering the same adventure."—Ed Robinson, author of LEAP OF FAITH: QUIT YOUR JOB AND LIVE ON A BOAT“SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS was a pleasant surprise. The insights into why people like us ‘go out there’ in boats is brought into crystal clarity in a way that is both entertaining and informative. The humor with which he tells this tale makes the pages fly by.”—Bob Bitchin, publisher of CRUISING OUTPOST MAGAZINE

À propos de l'auteur

Linus Wilson earned a doctorate in financial economics from Oxford University in England. He learned nothing there that prepared him for sailing from New Orleans to the Bahamas in a small sailboat. He is an associate professor of finance at the University of Louisiana, and is the author of over thirty peer-reviewed technical articles. His analyses have been featured by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times. He is married with one child, Sophie above. This is his first book. In 2010, he sailed for the first time, and his sailboat landed in the Bahamas in 2015. He started studying comedy in 2015 and plans to tell his first joke in 2020. He also likes to jog because it is a quicker way to travel than sailing.
