The Cruise of the Blue Dolphin: A Family's Adventure at Sea

It’s 1933, the grimmest days of the Great Depression, and the Chandler family is at a turning point. Father is out of a job, mother thinks he is having an affair, the eldest child is off to college. Rather than watch the family shatter, Ralf Chandler dreams of taking them (and his mother-in-law) on a sailing voyage--and then does it. Along the way they face a hurricane, storms, a shark or two, and some not-always-friendly ports of call. They sail down the East coast of the U.S., around the islands of the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal to the Galapagos and back home again. The narrator of this tale, Nina Chandler Murray, was 13 years old at the time; retired, she now lives in Nantucket.
