The Biggest Boat I Could Afford

What could make a man want to sail solo 2,500 miles up the east coast of the US in a 16-foot Wayfarer dinghy? How about a mid-life crisis, impending commitment, and a red-headed girlfriend's dare. Confronted with all these things, Hughes sets off on an extraordinary adventure with the intent to conquer his lifelong fear of the sea. Equipped with a 3.3 HP engine and a pair of new sails, but lacking a cabin, galley, bunk, head, or electricity, his Wayfarer treated him to all the joys of a normal camping trip but with a vastly improved chance of drowning. This is Hughes' story of his trip up the Intracoastal Waterway, learning the ways of the sea by trial and error.
